Hip circle squat alternate

[KTrain]

Hi,
Could you please provide an alternate exercise for the hip circle squats?

I am unable to do deep squats due to arthritis in my knee.

Can you do partial squats? You don’t have to go deep. Just meet yourself where you are right now.

Can you please provide a few alternatives; ie. Goblet squat w/ dumbbells. My neck can not take the bar pressure. Thank you!

I work out at home but recently joined a small minimal equipment gym and like they have the Olympic bars and cable machines, leg press that I don’t have at home. They only have one hip circle and it’s the strongest thing I’ve ever used. I could not use for hip circle squats because it made my knees cave. How important is it to use the hip circle? I may take my medium band with me next time. Can I get away without the band??

Take your medium band with you. You can always get some rubber bands from amazon or a place like that and it will serve the same purpose. They usually come in a pack of 4. Do what you can with what you have.
