Best Women's Fitness Magazine?

NickeeCoco

As the title suggests, what's a good one? I don't want diet or relationship or style advice, I just want "here's a bunch of exercises, here's the science behind them, and here's an interesting and articulate article about something in fitness that doesn't have to do with a fad, a trend, or beauty".

Or does such a thing even exist? I'm in Canada, so it would have to be available to me here.

Oxygen, though I heard somewhere they were going out of print.

FWIW, women's fitness isn't any different than men's fitness. Some mags portray it differently to sell more, but ultimate women can and should be doing the same things as men. A good magazine is one that uses the same approaches as men's magazines, but uses female models/lifters.

I actually already checked out their site and tried to subscribe, but the page didn't work. As for the other part, yes, but it's nicer to see the kinds of bodies I can aspire to, as opposed to seeing men's bodies. I'm not going to be all oiled up with an 8 pack.

Bump! I'm subscribed to Competitor, which I really enjoy, but it totally lacks the content you're getting at. I also enjoy Outside magazine, but it's definitely geared towards men and doesn't really talk about exercises and the like, just cool outdoor stories and gear recommendations.

glad I saw this post, I recently cancelled shape and women't fitness because I was sick of lipstick and shampoo ads filling up the pages.

I always liked Muscle & Fitness Hers, but it's best to get a subscription because I don't tend to see it in stores very often.

Wow, I would have given my vote to Oxygen,too. I am sorry to hear it is going out of print. I subscribed to it for years and just this years decided to let it lapse....too bad I it is going under.

I will say, if you want good advice on workouts...definitely not Shape or Self. Too much fluff. Try one of the others recommended above.

I look forward to my Oxygen mag every simple month, It is full of workouts and helpful tips for eating cleanier. I also enjoy Women's Health.

I love oxygen

The very best one in my opinion is Women's FitnessRX. The reason is that it's information is based on current scientific findings, not fads or opinions. There's no women working out in heels like sex objects. They're real women doing real hard stuff. Oxygen is out of business.

Things aren't changing so rapidly that you need an update once a month or the latest new exercises.
