To really work your legs to their full potential, you need to go low in your squats. This variation strengthens the entire leg and works the quads through a very large range of motion. The goblet squat can be done with or without weights, but either way you will be working your entire leg.
- Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width with toes pointed slightly out. If using a dumbbell, hold it at chest level with both hands. Keeping your back flat, push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor and your elbows touch your knees.
- With your weight focused in your heels, push yourself up to the starting position.
- Do 15 reps.
