THE NEW D-LEAGUE

Good morning folks. Heading out to for a run before the sun gets up. It may be a short one. My knee has been acting up and I don’t want to push beyond discomfort and really wreck it.

Then we’ll head for church, followed by a quiet day.

Nothing much else to report, so I’ll wish you well.

My knees were acting up for a while (still do periodically) but I found the best exercise/position for them is the Asian squat. Asians can squat down for long periods of time even in old age. You may have to start with holding on to something to begin with and start with 20-30 seconds in the squat and work your way to longer periods, but it has worked wonders for me. More and more "experts" are suggesting this for knees and hips. Also, I take glucosamine chondroitin supplements (started with 2 a day until I felt relief and then 1 a day). Just a suggestion here as my mobility improved with both of these things.

I do a lot of floating around on the internet looking for better ways of keeping my physical strength/agility up. Not ready to give up my ball playing days yet.

Just curious. What running shoes do you wear? If you have not already done it, you should search running shoes for knee issues. I don't run anymore with a bad leg, but I am pretty careful about the shoes I wear. A running shoe with very good cushioning helps me with just walking.

I walk 3-4 miles/day. Wear Brooks Glycerins. Heavily cushioned.

To protect knees, cushioning, heel to toe drop and stability all matter.

Good morning! How is everyone doing? I thought I would check in; I've actually stayed off the boards a lot this summer, but it's time to start getting ready for basketball (soon).

I hope things,are good!
