How come when I do squats my knees tire out, but my thighs don’t get tired?

I did 30 squats in the morning and all I got was shaky and tired knees. My thigh muscles didn’t even feel like it was used. Did I made a mistake? Do you know what?

you’re putting strain on your knees by doing that. make sure your back is straight and extended when you do these…..and also, when you squat, it should almost be like you’re sitting down in a chair, so that you lift some exertion off your knees. do it this way and you’ll definitely feel the BURN.
I think you may have done something wrong.
When you squat, keep your upper body upright.
When you drop down towards the floor make sure that your knees do not go over your toes. In other words, if you glance down you should always be able to see your toes when you are at your lowest point.
Once you get that OK you can try variations, such as working the lower half of the movement. Go down as low as you can then only come up halfway and go down again. Repeat. You can also work the upper half like this.
