I got about three minutes into it when my knees said, "F you,
Charlie!"
The rest of me felt pretty good. It's going to take me a while to
work my
way into it. But I like the machine. It is very smooth and there's
enough
going on to maintain my attention.
If your knees can handle the treadmill, they should be able to
handle the
elliptical, but the motion is different and it takes some time to
get used
to. I found that little or minimal resistance settings are worse
than a
moderate amount. Too little and my coordination and timing gets
messed up.

Little bit each day ...
I use a treadmill and I hate it - my knees hurt like hell.

Oddly, when I walk through the woods along the old
logging trail, I'm fine.

Go figure.


Try adding a daily dose of Glucosamine HCL(1,500 mg) and Chondroitin
(!,200 mg) twice/day (2 tablets each time). This combination is
designed to lubricate the bone joints.

Both my wife and I have used this for the past 2 months and we have
both noticed an improvement in our joint pain and flexibility. We
use the Costco /Kirtland brand.


Side effects?

Yes, there are side effects and you will notice them when you sit on the
porcelain throne. There are recent studies that concluded that G&C did
not demonstrably help with joint lubrication. Also, hyaluronic acid
which is present in your joints cannot be absorbed in your digestive
system and make its way to your joints. The only way to get hyaluronic
acid to your joint is by injection.
