Squat and Lunge Fix (STOP KNEE PAIN!)

Sore knees? This is for you!
Knee pain is one of the most frequent problems I see when I coach so if you are suffering, don't worry, you are not alone! The most common cause of knee pain is incorrect technique during lower body exercises like squats, running, lunging and jumping. When we repeatedly do these exercises with poor form the ligaments and cartilage begin to suffer. So, when you experience pain it could be a build up of months or even years of wear and tear. Hectic RIGHT!
This is why I want to help! I've covered two lower body exercises in this video, squats and lunges, because they are the most fundamental exercises we use when we train.
Remember, it takes a little while to re-train your body to move in a new way so don't expect to move perfectly the first time you make these changes. Start with no weight, move slow with each rep and keep focused on how your body moves (be bodily aware!). Doing these exercises in front of a mirror is super handy to pick up any sneaky mistakes or naughty habits too!
Health and happiness,

I’ve been doing all wrong, i actually had to stop doing squats because of the knee pain, thank you so much, all your explanations are so helpful!

[@royregis1129]

Same just started bodybuilding last week & im gonna do reverse lunges, stiff legged deadlifts & calf raises no squats for now Although through my research I’ve learned that everyone has their own natural way to squat based on the structure of their Themur bone & you can test how wide a stance & foot placement works best for your squats using things like Craig’s test-checkout squat university’s KZbin channel or search “how to squat naturally for me” as there’s no one size fits all method for squatting to prevent knee pain

[@soonny002]

Me too! I didn't even know there's such a thing as a reverse lunge. Going to try this workout next time. :)

This is one of the best lunge tutorials. I have been avoiding lunges for YEARS. I thought they weren't for me, but now I am so excited to put these tips into action.

[@DazzaOnGoogle]

Saved me. I just bailed on a session of lunges because of knee pain. Shortly after found this, and can do the reverse without pain. Nice.

Yeah, no. This is faulty advice for saving your knees in bodyweight squats. I highly recommend watching this video instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioCacnltmNhofpI

that's the best lunge explanation i've seen - so clear and precise. Congrats and thank-you. I always read about the benefits of lunges but when i perform them my knees hurt - it's the kind of hurt you know that something is wrong. Turned out i should do the back lunges just like Amanda's advice. Thanks very much for sharing.

I’ve been struggling to do a proper forward lunge as an obese person without proper training. I felt like my posture wasn’t right, my stance and the way I engaged in forward lunge was all wrong. Thus, furthering my knee pain. I found lots of videos showing alternatives and exercises to try to reduce pain or strengthen my knees etc. (Not being able to perform a proper lunge made me feel very discouraged) But neither that I’ve watched have showed and explain in such simple but clear details on how to properly do it. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your video! You showed us from many angels which really helps me visualise it so much better and your explanation was so simple but clear and straight to the point. Easy to catch and understand. Thank you so much! I will definitely start including them in my exercises! I tried following your guide in this video and did it along with you while you explained, and I could IMMEDIATELY feel the difference! My knees really didn’t feel too uncomfortable nor pain!

[@AmandaBisk]

Aww this is such a lovely message! Thank you so so much! I'm so happy these tips have helped you! Thank you for taking the time to tell your story! You've made my day :) x

[@expose8486]

Amanda Bisk thank you too for this informative video! I have been practicing the lunges as you’ve taught in this video and so far my knees are tolerating them so much better! So far I haven’t faced too much of a discomfort or problem. Thank you so much once again!

Thanks for this correct positioning of exercise. A very big help during quarantine.
