Question about knee pain from lunges on carpet

I started doing lunges on my carpeted floor last week. Now my knees ache whenever I bend them. Is there a better way to do lunges or should I switch exercises?

I once scoffed at short workouts, but now they're my secret weapon

Always thought hour-long sessions were mandatory for results, yet compressing effort into twenty-minute bursts has skyrocketed my energy. The mental ease of knowing it's quick removes all procrastination.

Showerthought: My neighbor's impromptu driveway calisthenics in a bee suit

During my morning routine, I saw Mrs. Jenkins from next door doing high-knees in her driveway, fully suited up in beekeeping attire. She shouted over that she was multitasking fitness and pest control, which cracked me up. I decided to try my own weighted vest workout today, imagining it as a lighter version of her gear. It's amusing how local quirks can spice up a home exercise plan.

My balcony workout session proved that space limitations are just an excuse

I always thought I needed a dedicated room for effective exercise. After setting up a minimal routine on my tiny balcony, I not only stuck with it but also improved my endurance significantly. It's all about creativity, not square footage.

Morning yoga consistency unlocked better weightlifting form for me

I started doing short yoga sessions every day to combat stiffness from sitting all day. Surprisingly, it's improved my squat depth and overhead press stability. What other mobility work do you all swear by for home workouts?
