    i'd suggest first working on leg extensions and hamstring curls to get your knees accustomed to the bend youd need.

    also, try wall squats. stand with your back against a wall and slower lower. go to a point where you can bend then hold for a few seconds. do a few sets of those until you can get your knees to bend enough that your upper thigh is parallel to the ground

    ^ I agree with these suggestions, although they never worked for me when my boyfriend AND a trainer at the GYM tried to help me .They said that once I lose some weight I may be able to, because I just couldn't do it. Not because it's painful but because of balance lol. Oh well, slowly losing the weight so one day I can squat and get the buttox my boyfriend has :drinker:

    I'd check your form to be honest. Unless you have some medical reason, squats (when done properly) should not hurt the knees.

    this.
    If you can sit you can squat

    practice by sitting back onto a chair and then standing right back up, repeat.
