Insanity DVD is wrecking my knees. Anything similar but without the squats?

I've just tried a Jillian Michaels workout on youtube and that's hurting my knees too.

Has anyone had similar problems and found an alternative? Ideally available online. I run twice a week, and just want to do about 30 mins two other days to help my running, so the last thing I want is to give myself an injury!

Is it the squats that hurt your knees? Are you sure you are doing them right? I used to have terrible knee pain when i did squats and then my trainer told me I was doing them wrong. I was squatting and sort of bobbing up and down which put all the pressure on my knees. You should actually stick your bum out like you are actually going to sit down. You can also lift your toes off the ground a tiny bit to make you stand in the right position.

Have you looked at the fitness blender site? They do loads of different workouts but I think they do a cardio one that says no squats?
