Squats are the most feared exercise. Many people don't like to squat, they fear injury but when done correctly squatting is one of the most rewarding exercise as is with most complex exercises. Most of our strength comes from our legs and I have seen many instances where people, mostly men don't do leg work and they create an imbalance in their physique(upper body becomes too large in proportion to lower body)
  Leg work releases the hormone that makes us stronger overall. Our legs are our foundation and if the foundation is weak then obviously we are going to have problems. Squatting is a very complex exercise and must be done to strict form.
  In conclusion remember never shy away from leg work, if you can't do the squats then use a leg machine, there are many types(leg press, leg extensions, leg curls, abductor, adductor, hack squat)find the one that works for you. Dig deep and 'Make Fitness Fun'
