Consider this exercise from Running Rewired:
Kettlebell Squat
- Hold a kettlebell tight to your chest in both hands with shoulder blades spread wide and locked down on the back. Your feet should be slightly more than shoulder-width apart.
- Staying centered over your feet, sink your hips back and down in a squat until your elbows touch your thighs.
- Keeping a neutral spine, drive back up to standing position.
- Do 3 sets of 8 reps.
TIPS
You can also use a dumbbell, sandbag, or any kind of weight for this exercise.
Don’t arch your back at the top of the movement to counter the weight. Maintaining a neutral spine through the movement ensures that your core works as much as your legs.
