Goblet Squat

INTERMEDIATE

Goblet Squat

Goblet Squat works all the major muscle groups of the lower body. It helps strengthen the muscles, prevents injury, and aids fat loss from the lower body and belly. It engages and helps tone the powers of the core, back, forearms, and to an extent, the shoulders and upper back.
