Kettlebell Sumo Squat

Leg bend and extension for quads and glutes. The kettlebell requires you to control its position throughout the movement.

How to do the Kettlebell Sumo Squat

4 steps, in the order you do them.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and get the weight or support ready, keeping your abs tight.
Bend at the hips and knees, keeping your knees in line with your feet.
Push through your whole foot to stand back up, keeping your torso steady.
Repeat at a controlled pace without using momentum.

What goes wrong most often when you do the Kettlebell Sumo Squat, and how to fix it.

Your feet are shoulder-width apart and it's not a sumo squat.
Set your feet well wider than your shoulders, with your toes turned out.
The kettlebell touches the floor and you rest at the bottom.
Lower until the kettlebell is a few inches off the floor and stand up without setting it down.
With the wide stance, your knees cave toward the center.
Push your knees out, in line with your toes, especially on the way up.
