How to do Goblet Squat Pulses
Start standing, holding a dumbbell vertically at chest level with both hands, elbows pointing downwards. Lower into a squat and, instead of standing up completely, perform small pulsing movements up and down at the bottom range of the squat.
Common mistakes
Ensure the knees track over the toes and don't cave inward. Keep your chest up and back straight, avoiding a forward lean.
Breathing
Inhale as you lower into the squat, exhale during the pulse, and inhale again as you prepare to return to the starting position.
