  1. Four weeks ago I inquiried about usefulness of glucosamine in treating and improving joints for
    active people. I used to runa lot and have been having joint issues lately, which prevented me from
    running. It was not bad, but made me concerned enough to curtail how much I run. I used to need time
    to recuperate from a typical 40 minute run before I could runagain.

    Three weeks I started taking a glucosamine Hcl/Chondroitin/MSM combo from our local drugstore.

    I am happy to report that my knees feel better overall, like I feel no pain when going upstairs etc.

    Also, I can run, and not only that, but I can run again soon after a previous run. It has only been
    3 weeks, so I am hopeful for even better improvements.

    I stil feel mild knee discomfort after running, but it is much better than before.

    why not listen to your body and STOP running?

    Do you mean stopping during a run? Well, during a run my knees are okay.

    I would like to run if I can find a way to do so safely. It seems that glucosamine is something that
    can let me run safely due to thickening of joint tissue that it induces.

    your knees hurt, why would you continue traumatizing yourself? can't you find a better exercise?

    While I agree with your general approach...

    Well, the real issue is that the knees are worn out due to running. So, the right thing to do is to
    repair the damage, if possible. It seems that glucosamine can do just that.

    If I can repair that damage, then I would like to run because, first, I like it, and second, because
    it is a good exercise.

    As you know, I also walk daily and lift weights. But running would be a good addition to this. I am
    very used to running and it makes me feel better and improves my mood.

    i am a BIG BELIEVER in the use of glucosamine chondroitin, and use it daily with great success. i
    also have had to change my lifestyle to eliminate "jarring" exercise, and incorporate different
    forms of exercise.

    YOGA and WALKING have become regulars for me.

    Does it really repair the damage? I think if your knees are blown, then continuing to run, even if
    it doesn't hurt, doesn't make much sense.

    I would have to agree with you...I think running is for saps really, unless the running is done
    during a sport because a sport can be a true interest for a person, and in that case, we all have to
    pay a price for our interests in life. Of course, you try to do it with the best equipment. Running?
    I think people do that to make a statement to other people or to show off their body to traffic,
    primarily. Or, they just have an incomprehensibly dull mind. 🙂

  11. I don't run, either. I walk at 4.5 mph at a 15 percent grade on a treadmill - like running at 7 mph
    but no jarring. I also use the efx machine. If it hurts your joints, don't do it. Love your body and
    it will love you back.

    Better yet, have you compared it to using a tread mill, stair stepper, or lifecycle? And, how about
    plain old body building?

    Yes. Apart from running on the treadmill, which is a (relatively uninteresting) form of running,
    they all suck. Yes, tried all of them.

    Great -- if you like prancing around on a stage, covered in oil, wearing a pair of speedos. Or doing
    the same in the privacy of your own bedroom. If you enjoy that sort of thing, more power to you.
    Some of us prefer running.

    What am I being ignorant of, in your opinion?

    I recently dropped my stress pulse rate under high intensity aerobic exercise 20 points. And, that
    was from doing the right kind of body building: moderate weight with a huge number of repetitions.

    Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂

    Relatively uninteresting is your problem not mine. 🙂

    Plenty of people pay plenty of money to engage in plenty of that kind of activity in my gym. Ergo,
    it is neither boring nor uninteresting.

    Perhaps, it is your lack of results?

    The fact that people are motivated to exercise has nothing to do with whether or not that exercise
    is interesting.

    The goal of participants in the sport of bodybuilding is to look good in a g-string, not to "drop
    stress pulse rates". So if your goal is to "drop stress pulse rate" (whatever the hell that means),
    you're not bodybuilding anymore.

    BTW, anecdotal evidence from usenet trolls doesn't prove [censored].

  20. I have been using glucosamine for two years to assist with a tendon problem in my wrist. As a
    consequence, the cracking noises that once came from most of my joints (years of abuse playing
    football.........) has disappeared. While my knees still suffer after running, changing my running
    style and cross-training has enabled me to continue running 3 times per week. The glucosamine has
    definitely helped me, but I doubt that it cures the problem. It does make it more manageable, which
    can give you a false sense of security, but as long as my body will cope I will keep running.
