Let’s get into the nitty gritty details of this exercise. First of all, Goblet Squats/Marches are done by holding a weight in front of your chest, like a kettlebell or a dumbbell, with both hands at the same time.

In regards to the Squat; Squat down as low as you can go while keeping your core tight and your elbows tucked in so that they don’t hit your knees. Then, push the ground away as you ascend to the starting position making sure that your shoulders and hips raise at the same rate. At first this is great to practie at a slow tempo. Think 3 seconds down, 1 second hold at the bottom, 1 second up.
