RASUL AHMED DAVIS: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Rasul Davis and my company is Punch Kettlebell Gym, New York City, and today I'm going to show you how to get into the swing of things with kettlebells. Now I'm going to demonstrate one of the most primal movements that we can do: the squat. Okay? There's a bunch of ways to do squats with kettlebells. I'm going to demonstrate the front squat; in other words, holding the kettlebell in the rack position while you squat. So you bring it up to the rack position, relaxing the arm on the body; then about hip-width stance, sticking the glutes out first, going straight down, full squat if you can, and come back up, tighten the glutes. Now I'll show you from the side, and I'll show you from the other side. This is an excellent exercise. You want to do this constantly. Most people have ankle, knee, back problems 'cause they don't do anything like a squat or a dead lift. But make sure your knees do not track over your toes, and you do this with care.
