Problem with lunges
Anyone else with BAD knees have problem w/lunges?
The part that i have a problem with is not with the lunging knee (keeping it in line with the toes and not going over) but with the back leg, i cannot bend the knee, i have to keep it straight, meaning i have to lunge farther forward with the leading leg. i haven't done lunges since the 80's because i'm just coming off a 15 yr long hiatus from exercise to due severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibro but i used to do lunges that way even back then due to bad knees, getting back into weight training recently and all the lunges i see nowadays are with the bent back leg, just cannot do it, it feels really yucky and awful on my knees.
