Or rowing?

  Yeah rowing and cycling also works to some extent. Rowing seems to be a little better but I can still feel the drag on my knees. I'm in the middle of reducing 20-30lbs and see if it helps.

    Glucosamine supplements have enough data for doctors to say "might work, won't hurt". Chinese martial arts guys recommend eating chicken cartilage. Look into "continuous passive motion" for joint repair. If you aren't in pain from walking - walk, walk a lot. Otherwise, back to CPM. Diet to reduce inflammation, or cartilage can't repair itself. Correct postural imbalances. Look into tight hip flexors / weak glutes to take pressure off of knees. Rant, but might be useful, I looked into this stuff a lot.

      Thanks. I'll look into it, the first line is especially interesting but I'll have to double check. I do get pain after walking for say more than an hour so I'll refrain from that. I'll do a check to make sure it's not gout. Thanks again for the tips!
