While working out, it is very important to maintain proper posture or else there are chances of hurting yourself.... Yes, you need to be not only careful but also get your posture right to get the maximum benefit...while doing squats never put pressure on your knees... To get the form right use a chair.... Lower your body without bending the knees, as you do while sitting on the chair, do not bend... Practice this with a chair and also check the you tube videos to get a better hold... Once you understand it, then you can practice it without the chair.
Take care
Beta, it's quite common for knees to make sounds like popping or cracking (doctors often call this crepitus) when you bend or squat, even without pain. This often happens due to tiny gas bubbles in the synovial fluid around your joints bursting, or tendons and ligaments moving smoothly over the bone. If there's no pain, swelling, or stiffness accompanying the sound, it's usually nothing serious and can be a normal occurrence as our joints adjust.
However, it's always good to be mindful of your body. Continue with gentle exercises like walking or cycling to keep your knee muscles strong and flexible. The key indicator is the absence of pain. If you ever start feeling actual pain, swelling, difficulty moving, or if the sound becomes louder or changes significantly, then it would be wise to consult a doctor for a proper check-up. For now, don't worry too much, just keep observing and stay active.
