I encourage you to do heavy squats as deep as you can go. I just pushed myself to go as deep as possible with my squats (had to lower my weight) Monday. The inner thighs, hips and butt are REALLY feeling it today. *kitten* to grass baby!

    Not only round/sexy, but lifted too!

    Also the Link/Zelda idea seems solid...

    I've been incorporating deep lunges with weights for a couple of weeks now and noticed an improvement that cardio alone never gave me

    I'm too shy to do squats in public though :(

    I always think I look like I'm going to do a poop

    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.

    There's a new program out by Beachbody called Brazilian Butt Lift. I am doing Insanity and BBL still kicks my butt and it's really starting to work with my butt, and legs :)

    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:

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

    Is anyone brave enough to post a video of proper technique? I'm concerned I'm not doing it properly

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

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