To start off, pick up a kettlebell or a dumbbell. Start with a lightweight one and then work your way up as you get more comfortable with the exercise. Then, do the following:
1. Hold the kettlebell on the sides of the handle near the base and move it close to your chest. If you are using a dumbbell, pick it up vertically while keeping your hands below the weight.
2. Position your feet slightly outside your hip width while keeping your toes pointed straight. You can make some tweaks with a wider stance or by pointing the toes slightly outward to find the most comfortable position.
3. While looking straight ahead and keeping your torso upright, sit your hips back and start bending your knees to squat.
4. Return to the starting position when your hips get in line with your knees or your elbows touch them.
The goblet squat is credited for improving lower body strength and improving mobility and posture. It also activates multiple muscle groups and can be a functional warm-up exercise.

]]>This might remind you of a lunge, but it is actually a squat and is used to show you which leg is weaker. For this squat, you will need a bench and any sort of weight. You can use a dumbbell, kettlebell, or barbell. You will stand in front of the bench, put one foot up on the bench behind you and use the leg standing on the floor to drive the movement. The foot on the bench should not be taking the weight or pushing the motion. You will feel the burn in your thighs and glutes with this exercise.
The sumo squat works on the side of the glutes and the inner thighs. You will want to stand on an elevated platform, either two steps or benches—in a wide stance and take a dumbbell in both hands and go as low as you can—without compensating your knees, holding the dumbbell between your legs. Since the range of motion is a little shorter, you can actually hold a higher weight than you would do with the goblet squat.
The back squat is the most popular of squats for strengthening the legs, core, and glutes. It can take time to reach a good depth and weight, but with a lot of mobility exercises and persistence you will reap the results with this exercise.
