Position your feet shoulder width apart and your toes facing forward. Grasp a kettlebell with both hands in an overhand (hook) grip. Lower your hips with the weight focused on the heels, back straight, head facing forward, chest up, with your shoulders just in front of the kettlebell. This will be your starting position. Pull the kettlebell up off the floor by extending hips and knees. As the kettlebell reaches your knees forcefully raise shoulders while keeping the kettlebell close to your thighs. When the kettlebell passes your mid-thighs, allow it to contact your thighs. Shrug shoulders and pull barbell upward with arms allowing elbows to flex out to sides, keeping the kettlebell close to your body. Aggressively pull your body under the kettlebell, rotating elbows around bar. Your wrists should rotate as the kettlebell reaches shoulder height. Bend knees slightly and lower the kettlebell to the mid-thigh position. Slowly lower the kettlebell with taut lower back and trunk close to vertical. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.

The quads are a set of four muscles in the upper front thigh. All four muscles work to straighten the knee. One of the four (rectus femoris) also helps to bend the hip. Squats are considered a vital exercise for increasing the strength and size of the legs and butt.
