    I truly abhore them, but since I have started doing them (about a month and a half now) my *kitten* and legs look so much better. I can't believe the difference...

    You can share the hate with travelling lunges and heavy dumbbell step-ups

    I love love LOVE squatting! I just recently got into Stronglifts 5x5, and the intense, heavy-weight squatting is doing WONDERS for my legs, butt, and stamina (I feel like my running has improved since beginning strength training!).

    Lunges are one of those things I have a hate/love relationship with. I hate doing them, but once I start, I love what they do for my body.

    I hate them, they're evil. Necessary evil though.

    Yep, definitely hate them today! I just upped my weights and am now squatting 120 pounds and lunging 110 pounds. Out of the two, lunges are definitely worse! I love deadlifts though!

    I hate lunges. Not only are they hard, but they're awkward and uncomfortable. I never feel like I have good balance when I'm doing them.

    I have a much better relationship with squats, though. I've been loving my weighted barbell squats. It's amazing how quickly it shapes me up!

    I absolutely love to do squats. I don't know why but I feel they're very easy. I don't like pushups.

    However, crunches, pushups, squats and lunges are very good for us and are some of the best workouts yet some of the most underrated workouts so I do them anyways

    Hmmm..... don't hate either.

    I actually love squats, all squats. (ok, I don't LOVE overhead)

    When I have to do lunges I just think about my how much better my butt looks and they don't seem that bad at all.

    I have a love/hate relationship with lunges and squats right now. My trainers makes me do them three days a week and I dread every session with her, but I LOVE that they are shaping my butt and legs in such a short amount of time.

    I've always enjoyed them! Lunges hurt me, but I like the intensity.

    I struggle with push-ups, too. I have to do the "girl" push-ups.

    I'm not a huge fan of squats, though I make myself do them. Deadlifts are my preferred lift.

    I hate lunges! Squats, on the other hand are not quite so bad.

    my knee joints are not the best, add squats and lunges to the mix and its torture. Especially lunges. I actually prefer travelling lunges to static. Static lunges feels like my knees are about to pop. I recently decided to stop doing lunges
