Kettlebell Goblet Squat - Fitness On The Run Show S1E6

The Kettlebell Goblet Squat is a great exercise for making gains in your squatting abilities, leg strength, core strength, and when using the Indo Board, balance training.  Here, Jon goes through a progression of the Goblet Squat first with a kettlebell, then performing a kettlebell front raise while squatting.  To make it a balance training exercise, use an unstable surface like the Indo Board to increase proprioception and muscle activation without an increased load of weight.  To make it even more challenging, add a kettlebell front raise while on the Indo Board.  Remember, while on the indo board, floor surface is very important.  Doing this on a harder surface will make it quicker, a thicker surface like grass will slow down the board’s movement and make it easier to balance.

Never new why it was called a "Goblet Squat".....good core exercise holding the kettlebell this way.

I have also practiced balance and core techniques using a Buso ball. I will be interested in trying the Indo board because it looks a little more difficult.
