All the women on my fitness board (The Daily Plate) are raving about NROLFW so I purchased the book and excitedly read through it all, only to be quite dismayed by the number of lunges incorporated into the workouts.

I have really bad knees and have always avoided lunges for fear of injury. I started Stage 1 last week and decided to try the lunges without weights. The first time wasn't too bad, but this Sunday when I did Workout B for the second time, my knees were in such pain I could do only 6 lunges.

Since you feature lunges throughout the series, do you have any suggestions/modifications/alte rnatives for people with knee problems?

Thanks.
