I love doing squats; they’re great for fitness, aesthetics, and supporting joints as we age. And though I squatted pretty regularly, I was concerned my already noisy knee might give out one day. Then I found the DB Method—a machine that turns squats into a cardio workout while relieving all the pressure on your joints. It took weeks (OK, months) before I felt like my form was perfect—the trick is to lean back to keep pressure off your knees and hips, while still engaging your core. Though my first workout was only five minutes, my legs felt it the next day. Aside from ache-free squats, the workouts incorporate variations like plies and pulses to target different muscles.

The DB method has helped me to achieve my most toned thighs ever. My muscles are strong without being bulky, and the ass-ets that get flattened from working at a desk all day have also admirably perked up. Now, my knee doesn’t creak so much, and I stopped using a support bandage. Even though I’m slowly considering a return to the gym, there are still plenty of times when I just want the quick rush of adrenaline that comes with a short workout before my day starts or to stay home in inclement weather. I’m so thankful to have had this machine for the last few years, and I can’t imagine ever stopping using it
