Hip exercises? -

Hip exercises?

O.K. ladies. I have a question. I've been doing workouts for awhile now just to stay in shape. I'm 5'2 and weigh about 115-120 (depending on what time of day) which is close to my prepregnancy weight of 110. What's irritating is all the hip exercises I find that "work" are lunges and/or squats but every time I do these, my knees are killing me and I don't feel any workout on my butt. Does anyone else experience this or is it just me??? Maybe I just have weak knees, IDK. I should also mention it's been just over three years (not three months) since giving birth to our third child. Hopefully my hips aren't stuck like this lol! Any tips or experience to share would be great.

I hear you! My knees pop like crazy after areobics. I like to watch Dr. Oz to get some fun exercise ideas. Maybe check out his website and see if there's anything posted that looks good. :0)

i know exactly how you feel!!!!!!
i was told in highschool to stop ALL inpact sports or face multiple surgeries on both knees. when i was 23 dislocated my left hip and was diagnosed as permanately disabled. i have gone through rahab most of my adult life. only thing that helped me was the exercise ball. my advice get ball from local sport/discount store and go to a thrift store for a video (few dollars vs. 10-20 dollars). good luck and be safe!!!
