My knees click whenever I do squats and lunges......am I just that fat that they can't bear the weight? Anyone else experience this?

    This happens a lot to my best friend. Our personal trainer told us yesterday that it is due to your joints not being lubricated and that you just have to sort of press along little by little and eventually your joints will become lubricated and the clicking will stop...

    My knees do that too when I bend at a certain angle. I feel old whenever I hear that sound.
  • hmmm...my knees pop A LOT! but i thought it was because of a fall i had last year, the lack of lube sounds legit, though, so that might be it.

    also, do you wear heels often? i wear mine ALL THE TIME, and my chiropractor said that the mal-alignment it causes could also contribute to the popping.
