Bad knees
BobGrouix 10 years ago | Meagan, I think it is the gradual aging progress. I have always been physically active most of my. It is since I retired, other than brisk walking every day only my fingers got exercise. [Typing, Clicking the remote for my audio- video equipment-LoL!] Since I joined TDC I have slowly stepped up my exercise program a bit at a time. One of my friends who used to do the over 50 cross country foot racing with me suggested that I start on Glucosamine. I just need validation from an expert. Again, thanks Meagan. |
Meagan Lee 10 years ago | Bonitag, Thank you for sharing! |
bonitag 10 years ago | I do inversion therapy, I hang upside down almost daily!!! Really helps with aging pain we have!!! |
bonitag 10 years ago | I feel I have to share this! I really have had a hard time on treadmills with my knees! Our home burned in 12/2010, we lost everything! Still our glass was half full!! Praise God!! I had a room of equipment 2 treadmills included! last year, I finally decided on a piece of equipment, I ordered the bow flex tread climber. |
Meagan Lee 10 years ago | Bob, And when you say aching knees is it due to the type of exercise, previous injury, low cartilage?? |
BobGrouix 10 years ago | We are encouraged to post, however, when I posted I got no reply. What does One have to do to get on the “A” list of the trim down staff? |
glenhandy4 10 years ago | streeching and shoulder movement back and forth. touching to the toes. My Mother could touch her toes at 90. I am 71 now and can do most walking and streching. |
BobGrouix 10 years ago | A Question for Meagan- Since I have stepped up my physical fitness program I started taking Glucosamine last week because of my aching knees after exercises. I know it is too soon to feel the benefits. My question is: Would this supplement really benefit a person of my age [61]?—Bob— |

AnnaH 10 years ago | There are a lot of chair exercise videos on You Tube and I have been doing those. I have problems with my left knee and both hips and find that I can do those for a total body workout including the dodgy knees and hips. |
Deborahjjhayes 10 years ago | I don ‘t know but I’m taking notes as that’s where I’m headed I’m afraid!! |
jinnyht 10 years ago | I had a total knee replacement almost year ago, and it took months before it felt better than before surgery. During physical therapy after the surgery, I learned that biking is the best exercise for knees. When I was in pain, all I had to do was get on the bike for 20 minutes and the pain was gone when I finished. I also did a lot of “Pool Walking,” as well as stretching exercises. I still ride the bike, but I notice that I don’t really work up a “sweat” til 20 minutes into the ride, so I spend 40 minutes or so on it. |
