A great tweak to kettlebell squats to enhance core activation

Off-Set Squat:
This intermediate squat variation provides anti-rotation and anti-lateral flexion because of the specific positioning of the kettlebell.
You'll feel it in your abs. 🔥

Technique Matters!

While it's tempting to load the bar with a ton of weight 🏋🏻‍♀️, it's more important to move through proper and full ranges of motion. If you're struggling with your form on a given exercise, lighten the weight or modify the exercise. You'll still achieve strength gains, while reducing your risk for injury!✅ www.vitalifit.com #thursdaythoughts #exercise #health #technique #strenghtconditioning #vitalifit #educate #engage #empower
