In the narration, we're told to place our feet shoulder-width apart, but in the video the feet are much further apart than that, practically double-shoulder-width. Which is it?
Great catch! Start with your feet shoulder width apart, then step to your side. From that position, bend the leg you've stepped out with. But bend backward, pointing your glute back. Some people bend their knees forward, which can damage their joints. Hope that helps!!
I think lateral squats can never be achive if your leg are shoulder with apart. Normal squat yes with feet shoulder apart. I usually do mine with legs wide apart and go side to side. I'm too lazy to change position. But maybe I should as doing side center side, it incorporates bith lateral and normal squat. Add dumbells and do some arm exercise too. Then its full body workout.
Actually, i started doing squats/lateral squats with not so heavy dumbells and do some arm lifting (doesn't matter which one. I do whatever I feel like). And I just do until like ok i feel it. Then I stop. Then do some abs exercise or some lying down exercise (I am lazy!l Then 3 days later, I continue. I do loose weight about 3kg in about 2 weeks. But just to note, I naturally not a snacker. That means I am not into sweets/chocolates/chipssweet drinks. I take them only when I crave. I usually drinks plain water and eat rice (I'm SEAsian). I stop eating at the point as long as I don't feel hungry. It's the feeling that you are not hungry BUT can still stuff more if you want too. Sometimes I eat dinner sometimes not, again if I'm.hungry or not. I do eat pizza, pasta, carbs etc. I do not go on diet. It's just stop eating the moment you don't feel hungry.
Your plan is awesome. I can tell you're listening to your body a lot and that's why you have this great intuition. For example, you said you lift weights until you feel it and then you stop - and that's good because you're creating mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Even light weights can help you when you're lifting close to failure. Your eating habits sound on point as well :)
Can doing side lunges consistent day by day cure the problem of knock knee and reset the position of normal straight legs which doesn't have knock knee
It's one of the exercises commonly used for this condition, but you should add others that strengthen your inner thighs and glute medius and minimus. For example, side lying leg raises, fire hydrants, butterfly bridges, side to side squats. Also consider mobility workouts for stremgth (animal flow is one good example here). Good luck, hope this helps 🩵
Thank u for replying and i also want to ask why does knock knee is occurred in human body it is due to hip rotation,flat foot or weak muscles which cannot hold leg properly

Another exercise I need to start doing. May do them as a warm up before my run.
Hey Kelly, did you try doing these side lunges before your runs yet? I'm curious if you noticed any difference

That depends on a case by case basis, but your physician should have better insights than me :)
