Instead of cutting, I like to do a squat as low as I can.

Remember to keep the feet shoulder width apart, and only allow your knees to extend to the tips of your toes if you try this at home. Good form is important for preserving your joints.

But basically, I'll drop into as low a squat as I can, which by now, is all the way down.

Then I'll just hold that until I feel like I'm in enough pain. I take a little break, then squat low again.

I have done serious hard exercise to prevent the impulse to hurt myself in a non-positive way.

I like to do heavyweight squats when I can.

I used to do weighted lunges with the 45lb bar on my back across the gym floor after an hour of high intensity elliptical.

When a gym rat hates themselves as much as I do, every day is Leg Day.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.
