If the tried-and-true squat isn’t doing it for you, the goblet squat is another great option if you only have one dumbbell or are working to target those hard-to-reach muscles on the outsides of your glutes. Here, BB Arrington, CPT, walks us through the perfect goblet squat form, as well as a variety of other squat variations, so you can find the option that feels right for you. Since your feet are out in a wider position than a classic squat, you should feel this movement more in the sides of your glutes, and you’ll want to continue to brace your core so the weight you’re holding at your chest doesn’t throw off your center of gravity. This particular exercise is gentler on your back than a regular squat while still effectively firing up your lower body.
