Many of you know, squats are really beneficial, but maybe they hurt your hips, your knees or your <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/low-back-pain\/\">back<\/a>. Even though squatting is a fantastic exercise it can be a challenging movement. So I&#8217;m going to give you my favorite squat exercise, and why I think everyone should be doing the goblet squat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My name is Dr. Antonio with live loud Chiropractic and coaching here in Lafayette, Colorado. And today, we&#8217;re reviewing my favorite movement, the goblet squat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one movement covers a lot of ground for me, allowing me to hit many different areas of my body. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]PLAY VIDEO \u2b07\ufe0e[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ht2mIUw2zo8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Goblet Squat<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goblet squat is simply just you holding a weight out in front of your chest, and going through the squat motion. I do not care about depth. But if the depth is one of the things that makes you unbalanced, or maybe it&#8217;s more challenging for your knees, your low back, that&#8217;s something we want to check but that is not the intention right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is really beneficial about the goblet squat is when I hold the weight out in front of me, I have shifted my center of mass slightly forward. So that really forces my abdominal wall and my back, which we do want to strengthen our back to help for longevity and reducing chances of injury. It really helps target those areas by just holding the weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it&#8217;s much different than any other form of squatting like front squats or back squats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now one point that I will give is, you need to understand what squat stance is right for you. If you don&#8217;t know, feel free to go to our YouTube channel, we have an extensive video that talks about squat stance. But if you&#8217;re not sure, it is very helpful to understand what squat stance is right for you. Find a width and a toe angle that works right for you.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay Under the kettlebell during the Goblet Squat<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold that weight and pull elbows underneath the weight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not let the weight pull you forward when you go down<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you go down. I want to make sure I&#8217;m staying underneath the weight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arms pivot forward slightly. Right. I want to make sure I stay under that weight so it&#8217;s not pulling me forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forearms stay vertical<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want you to think about spreading your hips apart so that your torso can hopefully sit in between.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, you can structure this into your workout a lot of different ways. But the goblet squat, I feel is one of the things that everyone should be doing and helps you mobilize your joints and helps you get stronger a number of different areas added in, ask questions, reach out to your trainer, your coach and see if this might be a good or the right exercise for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep up the great work and Live LOUD!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share below with a friend or loved one!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][uncode_share layout=&#8221;multiple&#8221; bigger=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_color=&#8221;color-nhtu&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,74,73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fitness","category-rehab-pain-injury-recovery","category-sports-chiropractic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3.png?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84696"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":85630,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84696\/revisions\/85630"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
