    Hate them all you want...for now, eventually, when your a** gets rock hard and your pants fit, you'll love them! :)

    You don't need to like them. you only need to like the results.

    Start doing heavy barbell squats and then maybe lunges will become your favorite leg exercise.

    I don't really like them... But I grab that barbell and do them anyways! I can feel the burn and when I'm sore the next day I can thank the lunges. They are effective. I kinda hate-love them; they push me out of my comfort zone, which I like. CHALLENGE! :-)

    If lunges are done correctly, then knees issues aren't the problem. Most people who hurt their knees do them wrong, just like the squat.

    EXCELLENT point. Knees should not be affected as much by lunges. I can see people messing up their knees more with squats than anything.

    Someone once told me "Lunges are the differemce between granny panties and thongs." I think of that everytime I do lunges and it makes them seem easier, haha.

    I love this!

    It will be much easier watching DVD - team work can do miracles as well as good dynamic music.

    You can try to pulse up and down few times which will slowly stretch your muscles.

    Shift your mind somewhere else while doing it.

    You can't achieve anything without practice.
