Move of the Month: Deep KettleBell Squat

Switch up your workout for 2014 and do your backside a big favor by getting familiar with deep kettlebell squats! To keep kettlebell squats safe and challenging, Trainer Jane’s suggests keeping these quick tips in mind: “Feet wide, toes out, shoulders back, chest out, sink weight into heels, then drive thru heels as you exhale as squeeze your bum on the way up!” And remember that if you don’t squat deep enough (make your thighs at least parallel with the floor) then you’re not engaging your backside correctly. Shallow squatting will only work your quads (thighs muscles) and not the largest muscles in the body, your glutes (backside). And that’s part of the reason Trainer Jane loves this move! “Deep squats are amazing for the bum! One of my favorite things to work! ;)”
