in Health and Weight Loss
My boyfriend and I are both interested in subscribing to health/fitness magazines.
I have had Self in the past and it was ok, but I would prefer to try something new. I'm thinking about Women's Health. Does anyone have opinions about it?
Also, for you men, is Men's Health good, or is there a better one? My bf is already in great shape and wants to build more muscle. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    i get them all. for "fitness" i would say oxygen or women's health, for more healthy living i would get better health or heath and for little bit of fitness and a whole lot of beauty/fashion/travel, go for self, fitness or shape.

    walking magazine was my favourite, but i can't seem to find it anymore. also love sports illustrated for women, but it was cancelled.

    also, for good comprehensive guides, prevention puts out book-like magasines a few times a year, they are very helpful.

    if you want a really good magazine that is mostly about fitness, get SHAPE!!! It's the best, women's health has a lot of other wish wash, fitness is ok but there's not much to them (so thin), self is ok too but i am health magazine snob lol,and i'd say get SHAPE!!!

    Men's health is pretty good. My wife actually reads it as much as I do. IMHO it has better training routines then Women's health (I'll glance at the wife's magazine if it's lying around). The articles are cheezier, and the amount of protein shake advertisements and muscle building powders is almost laughable, but other then that, it's pretty good. I love the interviews they give. Generally the guys in Hollywood don't follow those same crazy diets as the women, so the celebrity articles on guys are usually pretty decent.
