How to do Dumbbell Goblet Squat: Step 1: Stand up straight and hold a light dumbbell by the handles close to your chest. This is the starting position. Step 2: Squat down until your hamstrings are on your calves. Step 3: Once you get to the bottom of the squat, pause and use your elbows to push your knees out. Return to the starting position.

Pro Tip Focus your attention on holding the dumbbell in place because it can be difficult to maintain your grip during this movement.
