1) what kind you want? Plus HJ,FJ or BBBJ? lol
2) Q-angle is the alignment of your hips and your knees.
Simple way to test, take a stick align it with your hips and follow it down and align it with your knee cap, make sure its flush.

Thats your Q angle.

3) Bowed knees are when one's knee is both protruding outwards.
Quite obvious, just stand straight and you'd see it pointing outwards away from the hips.

Most women i've encountered are mainly knocked knee - knees pointed inwards, this is because of their weak glute minor and hip instability.

Louis, what are the possible causes of hip instability in the first place?

lots of things, most i've seen is poor TVA control and glute unable to fire properly.

Some people might vary but this is the mostly the common problems.

You learn something new everyday eh =)

Anyway why don't you get herman to work on you?
He so qualified yet you never ask him..
Schedule an appoint with him la - full assessment/consultation + theraphy about 2 sessions.

From there on, you can schedule your work outs to address the problems.
