    I am learning squats from my physical therapist. They hurt still but are making my bad knee better. He is telling me I will be doing lunges too! I cannot imagine it yet! I am very fat and had knee surgery back in Sept for meneiscus but made my knee have arthritis in it. so, back with the PT. He is getting me so I can walk again and get in shape to work out with a trainer and get healthier and follow a very healthy strict diet ( not starving) So , squats it is! Take care and wish me luck that I can continue!!

    I used to hate them too. Ok I hated squats as well. Lunges made my knees hurt too. My GF got me doing them with just body weight and making sure I did them correctly. Now I have better stability and I use weights. I must have strengthened certain smaller muscles too because now my knees seem to track better and don't hurt. They seem to be good for strengthening the hip region.

    This is what I was going to say, I hate lunges but actually enjoy reverse lunges!
