I really don't like Squats, can I just do leg press instead?

@lhenzkiey Yes. But I wouldn't say it like that. It's kind of like I like clean clothes, so I do laundry and find ways to make it enjoyable lol

@james2175 I agree, that sounds better

@heislove1980 Check out your natural stance. If your knee aren’t straight when standing naturally, I would advise just avoiding squats. Some people with wide hips have knee that go in some haves knees that go out making if difficult to preform a weight bearing squat. You don’t want to injure yourself.Make a video of you squatting and ask a pro on how you can improve if it’s that important to you.

@heislove1980 Get a trainer to coach your squats, so you have less uncertainty around them. You can do leg press, but they're not as effective or beneficial as squats.

It's investing in a skill for life. All the movements that require squatting, and actual squatting weight lifting.

And it's a mindset thing- don't avoid things because you aren't sure about how to do them. Get help!
