If you love to exercise, but are starting to get bored by the same old routine, then you should introduce kettlebells into your workout. These are similar to dumbbells and come in different sizes. You can perform front squats while using a pair of kettlebells.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Grab the handle of the kettlebell, squat with your legs and pull the kettlebell up. Don't lift with your back, or you may throw it out. As the kettlebell comes up, bend your arm, curl your wrist back and rest the meat of the kettlebell in the crease between your forearm and bicep.
Step 2

Extend your other hand straight out in front of you for balance.
Step 3

Stand so that your legs are a little wider than shoulder-width apart.
Step 4

Squat straight down as if you were a baseball catcher. Stick your butt out to get a good squat.
Step 5

Rise from your squatted position to complete 1 repetition. Repeat this exercise for 10 reps, then switch arms. Complete 3 sets of front squats with your kettlebells to finish the exercise.
