What kind of workout can I do for my thighs & legs that is not so strenuous on my knees? The same w/ squats.

I have a larger lower body and would really like to lean up my legs.

i dont really know a specific workout that isnt strenous on knees, but sometimes a lopsided workout can be hard on the knees. make sure everything is balanced. And always stretch properly so ur knees dont pain so much, and if u strengthen ure knees they will be pretty much pain free. Also remember to rest ure knees properly for a full recovery and/or do controlled exercises that promote healing.
good luck.

Watch your knees when doing the lunges. You should always be able to see your toes... :dumbbell:
