Squats don't hurt your knees; what you are doing hurts your knees.
It's tough, you know, when you're thin and you don't put on muscle mass that easily. What you've got to remember is that you really have to eat a lot and you have to work your body out with basic exercises like deadlifts and squats and the bench press - the workouts that are basic in form but work a large group of muscles.
I do heavy weights in the morning for about an hour, and then I do 45 minutes of higher-volume lifting in the afternoon. My least favorite is the legs. . . I do quite a few chin-ups and rows. I do mostly old-school lifting with a lot of squats.
There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats.
I think squats is a generic thing - you can do squats with anything. That's the great thing about it. As long as you get in a safe position to do it.
Plain free-weight squats work better for me than anything.
I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It’s not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I’m OK
I exercise at least five times a week with stretching, Pilates, push-ups, planks, sit- ups, squats and light weights.
When I'm in the grocery store, I'll do lunges up and down the aisles. In the checkout line, you could do squats. I used to worry about what people thought of me, but I don't care anymore. I know I'm going to get the last laugh.
Do your squats eat, your vegetables, wear red lipstick, [and] don't let boys be mean to you.
With speed skating, it's like doing one-legged squats over and over again, with that one leg absorbing more than 80 percent of your weight. It takes an enormous amount of strength, and you're in such a weird position.
