Zareen Khan, 38, recently shared a glimpse of herself doing goblet squats in the gym. \u201cOh my God,\u201d she says in an Instagram video, showing her doing repetitions with a 70-pound (30-kilo) weight.\u00a0Following this video, we asked an expert how this type of squat helps.<\/p>\n

The goblet squat is a compound movement that primarily targets the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings while simultaneously engaging the core, back stabilisers, and upper body for balance<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cHolding weight close to the chest improves posture alignment and encourages proper squat depth when performed correctly,\u201d said consultant dietitian Garima Goyal.<\/p>\n

Training with 70 pounds indicates advanced strength conditioning. \u201cFor women especially, incorporating loaded squats plays a significant role in improving bone density, metabolic rate, and muscle tone. Strength training stimulates muscle fibres, increases lean body mass, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Over time, this supports fat loss, better joint stability<\/a>,<\/strong> and long-term metabolic health,\u201d said Goyal.<\/p>\n

Goblet squats also improve functional fitness. According to the fitness expert, the movement pattern mimics everyday actions like sitting and standing, climbing stairs, and lifting objects. \u201cStrong glutes and legs reduce knee strain and protect the lower back. When performed with good form, they can help prevent injuries and improve posture,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, lifting heavier weights requires proper progression. \u201cAttempting such loads without foundational strength, mobility, and core stability can increase the risk of knee or lower back strain. Controlled tempo, correct alignment, and adequate recovery are crucial. Strength gains happen during recovery<\/a><\/strong>, not just during lifting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building muscle is not about bulk but about resilience, hormonal balance, and longevity. \u201cStrong muscles support healthy ageing, better metabolism, and overall confidence,\u201d said Goyal.<\/p>\n
