Default knee pain - fat loss 1

Just wondering if anyone else found break in and fat loss 1 rough on the knees.

Last night i was doing the bulgarian split squat (managed to do them without losing my balance). I stopped after my second set was complete because my right knee was hurting. On top of the right knee on the inside. I don't think anything is strained as today is the next day and i can walk no problem.

Any good tips on how to protect - warmup knees?

Thanks

If you are clear of any doctor proven condition it is worth to look at your form.
Check for two things:

1. when you first start going down, break at the hip and start sitting back making sure your shin stays parallel to your ankle for as long as possible

2. make sure your knee is pointing at your toes at all times

You might want to foam roll before and after training, especially if you find extra tender spots on the side of your leg.

If these don't help, go ahead and video what you do and post it for us to check technique.
