THE KETTLE BELL FRONT SQUAT

· Place 2 bells at your feet,
· Stand with your shoulder width apart (or slightly wider)
· Squat down keeping a neutral spine
· Grasp a bell in each hand and clean them into the racked position in front of you on the upper chest.
· Now make sure the bells are resting in a comfortable position on the back of the forearm
· Keep your gaze straight ahead
· Take in a breath and brace the core
· Begin to squat down keeping a neutral spine
· Push your glutes out behind you
· Lower yourself
· Hold the bottom position for a second
· Then drive through the heels
· Breathe out slightly as you near the top
· Hit the top position and breathe in
· Brace and descend into your second rep.

This is a superb lower body exercise, hitting the Gluts, Quads, Hamstrings and the core.
Try it with odd size kettlebells.
