Rock Solid Buns

What could I be doing wrong? I watch my posture and form in the mirror and I THINK I'm doing this right, but after my first set, I feel a pinch in my knees. Anybody know what I could do to ease the tension? Rock on - Tracey

Get someone educated to check it for you and watch you as your doing it. If that isn't the problem then try stretching your legs before u do your first set so that will ease up the muscles around ur knees.

You also may want to think about doing squats. For what you want to do, this is an excellent exercise. In fact, doing squats followed by lunges is a great workout for your goals. -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.
