bad knees, flabby butt/thighs

Any other good excersizes I can do?

Maybe you should try leg extensions and leg curls? -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

However, if it is exercises that tone the thighs that you are after, try doing isometrics. They seem to be easy on the joints to me. Good luck to you, Julienne
