Olympic Weightlifter Jessica Taylor teaches you how to do a proper goblet squat with and without weights.&nbsp;The goblet squat is a full body exercise that primarily targets the lower body including the glutes, hamstrings, and calves. It's great for beginners because it requires you to hold the weight in front of your body making it easier for you to maintain proper posture and it lessens the pressure on your lower back. Before getting started, Jessica recommends putting the weights aside and practicing your squats first. Once you're comfortable in your stance, Jessica will show you how to turn that movement into a goblet squat by adding weight.

this is a product review of the power
 block convertible dumbbells
 they are so convenient for a super small
 space when you don&amp;#39;t have a ton of room
 for lots and lots of dumbbells
 they go from five pounds to up to the
 set that i have right now goes up to 50
 pounds you can extend them all the way
 up to 90 pounds they make it so quick
 and easy to move between exercises when
 you might be using different weights of
 dumbbells so you can really kind of move
 through and switch that weight really
 quickly this set in particular
 is very very durable a lot of the
 convertible dumbbells i&amp;#39;ve seen they&amp;#39;re
 made of a lot of plastic and this
 particular set the weight plates are
 actually metal so they stand up to a lot
 they&amp;#39;re also very comfortable to use so
 when you pick that up and you have your
 hand in there there&amp;#39;s foam on both sides
 of it you don&amp;#39;t worry about like hitting
 your wrist getting a bruise or anything
 like that so they have to be really
 really comfortable too i discovered this
 brand two three years ago i knew about
 them and didn&amp;#39;t really have a need for
 them and then hope it hit and i decided
 to open up my own personal training
 studio it was a small space so i needed
 things that didn&amp;#39;t take up a lot of room
 i would recommend these dumbbells for
