I need some help with muscle gaining. I want to gain some more muscle in my thighs. My thighs currently are a bit large, and I'm afraid to do a lot of muscular exercises because I have patellofemoral pain syndrome in my knees.
My foot doesn't have a curve, which makes it very flat. So every time I bend my knees or workout, I'm really hurting my patella. A lot of the shock and vibration you get from things like running doesn't get absorbed properly like it does with people who have a curve in their feet. I've had this condition for quite a long time now, so my knees are very swollen compared to other people. I can still work out and be a bit active, but there's a limit to how much I can do.
SO, I was wondering, what kind of exercises and activities can I do that can harden my thighs and butt and give it a bit of muscle WITHOUT having a painful effect on my knees? Please note that I don't have a gym membership and I don't have much access to workout equipment.
Thanks guys!
