How to Master the Kettlebell Squat (Complete Guide)
Build lower body strength, mobility, and stability with kettlebell squats, an essential exercise for targeting your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and core.
Perfect Kettlebell Squat Technique
Kettlebell squats are a powerful variation of traditional squats that engage the legs, core, and upper body for a total-body workout. With proper technique and body alignment, this movement can enhance strength, mobility, and balance. ChAIron�s AI coaching optimizes your squat form, ensuring effective muscle engagement and safety.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
1.Setup Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell close to your chest with both hands.
2.Brace Core: Engage your core and keep your chest lifted while maintaining a neutral spine.
3.Squat Descent: Push your hips back and lower your body by bending your knees, keeping the kettlebell close to your chest.
4.Depth Control: Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground or deeper if mobility allows. Ensure your knees track over your toes.
5.Stand Up: Push through your heels and drive your hips forward to stand back up, fully extending your legs while maintaining proper posture.
6.Breathing: Inhale as you descend into the squat, and exhale as you drive up to the standing position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1.Letting the knees cave inward during the squat.
2.Rounding the back or leaning too far forward.
3.Not engaging the core properly, which can lead to lower back strain.
4.Failing to keep the kettlebell close to the body.
Allowing the heels to lift off the floor during the squat descent.
