#Info – Dumbbell Goblet Squat
The Dumbbell Goblet Squat is a versatile exercise that targets the lower body and core. To maximize benefits, ensure a full range of motion by squatting until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Avoid leaning forward excessively; maintain an upright torso. Engage your core to support your lower back. Adjust the weight based on your fitness level—start light to focus on form, then gradually increase. For added challenge, incorporate pauses or tempo variations. This exercise can be adapted for beginners by reducing depth, while advanced users can add a resistance band around the knees for extra glute activation.
