Many people dislike the Barbell Back Squat or Front Squat as it can be uncomfortable.  A variation that some people might like better is the Kettlebell Goblet Squat.  Even though the weight is usually considerably lighter than what can be used on Barbell Squat variations, when done properly it can be a very effective exercise and create a significant heart rate response.  In the video below Meredith demonstrates how to properly perform the exercise.

 
Key Points:  Try to slowly descend to the point right before you loose the natural curve in your low back.  One at that depth pause for 1-2 seconds and then come back up.
