New Delhi, July 5 -- Learning a squat and eventually moving on to doing them with weights is one of the first things that gym-goers learn to do. Once you've mastered the basic squat, the back squat and the front squat will quickly follow as the next two exercises for the back and legs. But there is one variant from the squat family that goes under the radar, despite its ability to correct squatting form, work the core and multiple muscle groups in the lower body.

A goblet squat requires you to hold the weight close to the chest, and this method is not just easier on the body, but also makes sure that the body maintains a neutral spine with the core engaged and the knees traveling away from each other rather than caving in.

It is a singl...
