Can you position your body so that you are pushing up thru your heels and using your glutes more, instead of thru your toes and knees?
If you're doing squats, an easy way to do this is holding a bar over your head and concentrating on keeping it back/not letting it come forward. Or by leaning against a ball against the wall. On the eliptical you do it by reducing your incline (my trainer would say to zero), and cranking up the resistance - OR by going backwards.
