You should only do the squats with your bodyweight. Also, you should not try to squat down any farther than parallel to the floor. The squats are mainly meant to put a little a bit of extra stress on your knees to toughen them up...you don't need to try to be a powerlifter. If they hurt too much, stop doing them immediately. Leg curls and leg extensions will help strengthen the supporting muscles around your knees. Do a quick google search for them to find some video demonstrations. You can also wear a brace on your knees (commonly referred to as a knee sleeve) like basketball players wear. They add support to your knees without impeding your mobility. Hey Jenny,

One of my knees is prone to slipping out of place and getting sprained easily. I am a very active person and love to hike, swim and so on but, lately I have found this a little difficult due to the nature of my knee. Can You suggest any way to strengthen my knees up so they wont do that. thank you jenny Hi I have a question, I have hyper-mobile patella’s in both my knees .

It helps the most if you put it on right away, but putting it on the day after won't hurt anything. Yes Raffy, it’s okay to put ice on your knee the day after.
