    Substitute for barbell squats

    I have the same issue. Squats are out for me too. But I did find that wall squats with the ball did not bother me. I do not like the way squats with DB feel, so I substitute with ball wall squats as well. Hope this helps!! Feel better soon.

    Don't you hate it when instructors...

    I agree. My pet peeve is when they "shout" at you thinking that will make you work harder. That is why I can't stand Jillian Michaels. It only makes me angry not work harder. That's why I like Cathe. She does'nt shout, she encourages you!!

    Confused

    You all are so smart. I am 47 and this has seemed to happen recently. Yes. the hormones are doing their very unwanted thing. Luckily, I have a great dr. who is really helping keep all that in check. With that said the cortisol may be the answer for me. I guess I will keep with the moderate...
