At 76, I think I qualify as a Plugger. I do have bad knees (torn cartilage). They have been that way for at least 40 years, but they do not bother me. I learned some exercises from a Physical Therapist when diagnosed with arthritis in my back and hip when I was 48. Those exercises have helped me so much, I continue to do them most days of the week. That plus walking briskly twice a day for 30 minutes each time have kept me from needing any medication for the arthritis or my knees.

Some pluggers can tell what the weather is by how their knees feel.
