But... that really doesn't strengthen joints, tendons and ligaments, especially from lateral forces. I have been doing turncable type exercises, using bike inner tubes tied to an eye hook in a wall and doing skater-type side "pushes"/"extensions" (mimicking the stroke of a skate). I have found that the deeper I am in my squat and the closer my knee is to 90 degrees, there is much less pain in the knees.

I apologize for any preconception, I assumed you were the opposite end of the scale, so you know exactly what I’m saying, and now it’s just a matter of hours getting comfortable in the position required to accelerate while turning, I was busy winters from 3-15 on ice playing hockey, at that age, closer to the ice, in pads, falling wasn’t a concern, turning sharply while accelerating was, as I humbly exit, let me add, all things in moderation.
And... drop the butt
