How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand. Place the kettlebells resting on opposite shoulders with your palms facing down and elbows pointing forward.
2. Lower your body into a squat by bending your knees and hinging at your hips, pushing your knees lightly outwards as you descend.
3. Continue lowering yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
4. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, extending your hips and knees. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Ensure your knees track over your toes and do not cave inward during the squat.
• Maintain a straight back and avoid leaning forward excessively.
• Keep your chest up and your shoulders back to maintain proper posture.
