Hello, Cathe,
I've started to notice some slight discomfort in my knees in the last couple of months. I've read up on and checked again and again in the mirror on my form doing lunges and squats, and it seems like I'm doing them correctly,......could it be that my knees just don't like squatting and lunging? (I've never had any discomfort in my knees before.) When sitting, my kneecaps turn out slightly.
I dusted off some old Pilates-style leg workouts, but I just don't feel like I get a good workout from them like I do after finishing yours.
What do you think about semi-squatting/lunging? Would you recommend continuing with your leg workouts, and for squats and lunges just do a very light version, like only going down a little? Will this make me develop weird muscles, or are they just a waste of time, or even worse on the knees?
Many thanks for any advice!
