Hey I gotta question.

So I'm going to fill my backpack with books (thats all i got, dunno if i will ever make it to a gym)
and start my squats... when I get my results, what do I do to keep them? Cuz i keep reading how your muscle can get use to an exercise and eventually you will lose your progress unless you up weights, but I can't, do I add more reps/sets? TIA

I injured my knee recently squatting improperly - after sitting crosslegged for a while it's sure painful to stretch my legs. If I run a little bit, my knee hurts.
I don't think I damaged my knee but it's no fun to feel this little pain here and there.

Squat correctly!

This was a huge help! I definitely feel it now, I was just doing it wrong all along.

Why thank you!

I actually used to be a workout freak, so through my many workout DVDs I've learned the right form a few years ago. But I don't usually go as low as her, I guess that might help more once I get used to doing them again.

I think it depends where you carry your weight. IMO doing these bodyweight squats should keep your booty looking toned or at least keep your booty muscles activated whilst you lose weight. 

I'm not an expert on weight-loss (maybe some of the ladies here can chime in) but I would say lose all your weight first whilst doing these squats for tone and then once you reach your goal weight, you can build your booty back up if it's 'deflated' a little bit with weights if you want. Good luck on your weightloss! Star
