Hello!
I'm on Day 5 of Hero's Journey and it's leg day. Trick is, I have bad knees and they've been acting up over the last month or so. I actually had to stop 30 Days of Strength because of it. Typically, it's the lunges that do me in. I hear a sound that's kind of like crinkling plastic as my joints pop, it takes one or two sets to actually be able to lunge with good form, and I start hurting the day after. I'm looking to replace lunges in general for a while and am looking for suggestions. This day in particular has lunges, jumping lunges, and side lunges. Squats don't seem to bother me as much, so I was thinking of just subbing in those. The Exercise Alternatives page doesn't have a section on lunges, so I'm not sure if straight squats are going to hit my body the way the program is looking for. What would you replace a lunge with?
