Hi Desert Rose
Something else that helps excess weight to release is when you do the bouncing exercise before starting the active exercises which you do do with knees bent for most of the time as you say. (The exercise of bouncing is done with your feet flat on the ground, just bending and straightening the knees rythmically to get the bounce going). It's a great exercise to get the energy flowing.

What happens when you practice SFQ is that your body goes back to its normal weight and for some people that actually means putting on weight.

Love
