I do squats and lunges when they are a part of my workouts (e.g. any KCM or Kathy Smith that has it integrated into the flow of things) and I also enjoy Margaret Richard's lower body floorwork. But pretty every week without fail, I make sure I do the "Lower Body Fix" from Denise Beatty's Fitness Fix Intermediate DVD because it is the perfect blend of standing and floorwork exercises with minimal dread (I do howl a teeny bit) that a physical therapist would recommend highly too! My knees are much happier as a result

I, too, don't like lunges or squats. My knees complain but I do some just to be sure I can do it. As other mentioned, we squat to sit on the toilet. So it's important to be able to it. Doing less reps is a good idea and am off to research some of the names/DVDs mentioned.
Pre Covid, my sister and I were sharing a personal trainer; I was envious on how she was able to do walking lunges, touching knee to the floor. It was very obvious which body parts we prefer. I love doing upper body whereas my sister struggles with push-ups. Lunges no issue for her while it takes longer for me to just go down/up on a lunge. |
