I am not as old as some of you buy my knees are much older. Expect pain in your knees starting out and from time to time it is just a part of training. But the knee pads and braces/wraps are a wonderful way to help them. I would also like to suggest going to
www.aminoactiv.com. This is a topical antiinflamatory that is absolutely amazing. It works for roughly 12 hours, rub it on in the morning and again in the evening. It is truly an amazing product.
