That 5 AM bootcamp video nearly wrecked my knee last Tuesday

I used to jump right into high impact moves after a 5 minute stretch, but now I spend a full 15 minutes on mobility work before anything else. A trainer at my gym in Austin pointed out my hips were tight and that's why my squat form kept breaking down. Has anyone else cut out jump lunges entirely and seen their knees finally stop aching?

Real talk though, I used to think all that mobility stuff was just trendy nonsense people used to avoid real work. Then my left knee started clicking every time I walked downstairs and I finally listened to my PT about slow hip work and glute activation. Now I do like 10 minutes of deep squat holds and leg swings before I even touch a weight, and honestly the difference is night and day. I still do jump lunges but way less often and only when my form feels solid, cause forcing them on tight hips is how you get hurt. Glad you figured this out before something popped for real.
