john asked:


I wanted to make my upper legs larger (thigh areas) not with fat , but with muscle. But I can’t do squats, my knees cant take it. Is it even possible to enlarge my upper legs without doing squats?

I just started doing squats on a hack machine and I’m curious how squats actually work your biceps, etc
why do most sites say that squats work ‘every part of your body’??

My doctor believes I have Patellar Femoral Pain Syndrome but it didn’t show up on my x-rays. I have heard that strengthening your quadricep muscles will help with this problem, but the thing is that I can’t do squats or lunges because they are very painful for my knees. I did some squats 3 days ago and now I can barely walk. Are there any other exercises any one knows about to help strengthen my quads? Thanks!

I do a lot of cardio but I give myself 1-2 days a week where I do Turbo Jam’s sculpting dvd for 40 minutes. You are doing squats and lunges most of the time and I work up a little sweat from it. You also work your arms, but I mostly feel it in my legs. I was just wondering around how many calories do you burn in 40 minutes from doing squats and lunges?

Greatest Ever? asked:


I just started doing squats and the main thing that feels sore is my lower back. I do not feel any sharp pain so I’m pretty sure I did not pull anything, but I’m wondering if this is normal.

Chris K asked:


When I do squats (weightlifting) I have a tendency to lean forward. I have long legs compared to the rest of my body so it makes it difficult to not lean forward.

Any tips/suggestions?

barbie asked:


I’ve been doing squats for over a year now. I’ve gotten great results. I exercise 4 times a week. It’s done wonders for my body. I feel great! BUT my thighs really do hurt most of the time. Just like they did when I first started. Why, after more than a year, do they still hurt?
