Ok so you inspired me to have another look at squats. One of my least favourite exercises because my knees hate me ("lift with your knees" they said, "save your back" they said). I thought, there's got to be a way to do it without trashing your knees. That led me to a short video which really helped. I did all the things that Dr said and now I can (carefully) do squats! So I did 56 very slow and careful squats, and I'm very excited to join you on your squat challenge!
I love this!!! Also, thanks for the video, that's super helpful for Boyo. Hope your legs don't ache too much today! I do them in blocks of 10 or 20 if I'm too tired or sore.
That's some pretty solid advice, tyvm!
