I don't know how many of you are able to physically tolerate walking or running 4+ miles daily on a regular basis. My feet/knees/ankles can't handle it (despite wearing appropriate athletic walking shoes). Thank goodness the gym reopens tomorrow! It will be a full and fun day of exercise, plus!

Natural Remedy
I planned to walk for 3.5 weeks solid across Spain this summer. Thought I would have to pull out or be in extreme pain doing so. My knees were so so painful.
Started taking
Rose Hip and Glucosamine/Chondroitin every single day in the lead up to leaving for a couple of months.
It worked!!! Mission complete and no joint pain!!!! Made it up and over, most importantly back down from the Pyrenees all on day one with no joint pain!!! Muscles were sore but joints fine and for the rest of the journey :-)
I swear by this, been back home about a month now and still taking them.
Hope this helps anyone with painful joints
