Ladies. Want to work your thighs, hips and butt?

Good advice! I'll try it until my knees give out.....lol

And this will help me maintain my round, sexy behind, correct??

You should cos-play as link... or zelda could be good either way

Thanks!!! I'm gonna try it!!!! Burn baby burn!!!

Squats are the best thing you could do. Make sure you can do a squat with just your body properly. Then start adding a bar then weights.

Learn to do back and front squats (they work your muscles differently). When you get more advance do overhead squats.

Two knee surgeries later, there is a limit to how deep I can go.

this is all well & fine just remember your knees SHOULD NOT go out past your toes. =]

I know the feeling!!

I didn't have knee surgery but I do have crappy knees so I can't go too low either. My PT and the orthopedic doctor told me to squat like I am going to seat in a chair (sticking the but out), and to lift the toes to put the weight on the heels so the knees will stay behind the toes.

We do what we can whith what we have.:ohwell:

Not really... but if I don't I have the jelly effect and let's face, that just ain't sexy..

"half squating" can be worse for your knees then going deep.

If I don't do a full squat I don't even feel it in my backside... then the squat is pointless... :ohwell:

I encourage you to do heavy squats as deep as you can go.

if you are new to weight lifitng , take this advice very very cautiously
