There are a lot of things that have to be in place to do a proper squat.

You need:

— mobility in the right places
— strength in the right places
— desire to work (squatting is hard!! … and it’s a lot easier to do half-reps etc)

And the reality is, most people do NOT have all of these things going.

Most people cannot do a legit, full-depth squat with perfect form.

Now it’s SO important that you develop and maintain your squatting ability. As a baseline for proper movement. To get the most out of your workouts and fitness program. To keep fit and healthy and strong as you age.

The goblet squat – invented, or at least popularized, by Dan John – is a fantastic exercise 1) to teach you how to squat properly and 2) as a drill in itself.

Check out this short video from our last kettlebell workshop for a quick tutorial on how to do the movement:
