Maintain healthy joints - Advice from New York Personal Trainer

Working here in New York as a personal trainer, I get many questions from people about joint soreness. First of all, joint pain comes from bad form. I always advise people that if you do not know how to perform exercise 100% correctly, do not do it.

Here is what you can do to prevent joint pain:

- Learn how to execute exercise correctly. Consult your personal trainer about proper form.
- Supplement with glucosamine:
- Glucosamine rebuilds cartilage and collagen - key components that keep joints functioning and tissues strong
- It hydrates by helping cartilage tissue absorb water, the primary cushioning agent in your joints
- Glucosamine is the lubricant of all joint cartilage tissue as well
- Glucosamine helps preserve joint space to help joint function and flexibility
- Supplement with Chondroitin sulfate. Chondroitin sulfate is part of a large protein molecule (proteoglycan) that gives cartilage elasticity.
- Supplement with Flex Seed Oil. Omega 3 fatty acids combat painful inflamed joints

If you decide to take these supplements, consult your doctor about the proper dosage.
