Lunges

After 20 years of endurance running, my knees cannot handle lunges without some wobble and pain – even with knee sleeves. As a modification to walking lunges and alternating lunges, etc., I just pulse in the lunge position. Your thoughts?
Also, are there any other modifications and/or excercises to replace lunges? I mostly workout with dumbbells but would appreciate suggestions for gym workouts.
Thnx

You can modify the range of motion and go half way instead of all the way down, or do step-ups instead on a low riser or bench (not too high or you’ll run into the same knee issues) or you can replace all lunges with squats. I hope this helps!
