Are there recommendations for the knees?

I ended up not doing much for the week 1, day 4 workout and did some stretching/yoga instead?

I am not sure what you mean m=by “feeling the knees” … you might want to really focus on squeezing the muscles in your legs (quads/glutes/hamstrings) as I find when people have pain inter joints such as wrists and knees, it’s an indication that you are putting to much stress and strain on the joints because you need to strengthen the mind-muscle connection, which will help you activate the targeted muscle more so that the joints aren’t taking more of the stress of the exercises than the muscle, does that make sense?

That makes sense. What I meant by “feeling the knees”, I really meant they felt inflamed a bit and they were quite sore to try and even do a lunge or squat. Like my body didn’t really want to do the positions.
So what I’m hearing, and let me know if this is not right, I have to engage somewhere else in order for this to not happen. If that’s the case, how do I assist with the squats or should I do some movements without weights right now to build up more strength? I could use a band around the knees too

Thank you!

I was wondering if it was possible to get an exercise swap for the dumbbell Bavarian squat with stiff leg deadlift.

I could only get like 8 per leg done this morning and that took me like 10 minutes. I kept falling and stumbling over.

I tried doing them as separate exercises as well and that didn’t help.

Thanks!!
