I've been taking glucosamine and even though I was skeptical at first, it appears to be making a difference.
I really need to get a core/strength program going. The gym where I go doesn't do any classes and for some reason, I'm terrified of looking like a fool trying to use the weights or weight machines.
IMO, glucosamine does work. We used it a lot at the vets office where I used to work. I saw the effects it had on the dogs and started using it myself.
As for asking for help with the machines, never be embarassed to ask for help with something you don't know about! It's just something that you have not had the good fortune to learn yet. As I get older, I become less and less concerned about what people think of me and more concerned about what I can take away from the experience. Besides, the gym probably would rather you ask for help and learn the correct way than to do it wrong and get hurt.
