[pct-l] What do others do to get/stay in shape

[Tortoise]

Off and on for the last couple of years I've had sore knees at times.  I 
started taking 1000 mg (1 gram) of glucosamine sulfate (available at 
WalMart) twice a day. seems to help. MedLine says it has  positive evidence 
to support helping with knee osteoarthritis (mild-to-moderate) involving 
the knee cartilages.
