Fitness is ok. I like Oxygen Magazine. It has a lot of down to earth fitness tips, exercises, etc., and seems to be directed more towards the "average" woman.

You guys really need to pick up a copy of OnFitness. It cuts through all the bull crap. Every article is awesome. Yes it's geared toward personal trainers and thus the articles can get a little technical, but man is there some great info in it. You can find it at a lot of Barnes and Noble bookstores. Alas it only comes out once every 2 months, but man, is it awesome!

I just checked it out online (www.onfitnessmag.com), and it looks really cool. According to the website, here's what's in the current issue:

Take a look at the science: you’ve heard about the fat burning edge of exercising first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. But does science back this up? ; sculpt htose arms: easy guide for basic but effective arm routines.

5 blistering leg routines

Get ready – if you dare: killer leg workouts that involve poser, strength, speed, stamina and agility.

Has the soy industry duped us? And how? The shocking difference between fermented and unfermented soy.

I'm going to have to take a trip to B&N!!!

Thanks, Banks!!!!

Ahh, yeah, it touched on it. It went more into the effects of phytoestrogens and their effects on the human body though, it also hit on the differences between fermented and unfermented soy, big difference. Oh it also talked about why soy is in so many things (big business and how they figured out how to drum up a market for what essentially was a waste by-product up until the 80s)

the success stories are my favorite - fitness used to have them but now cut them down to a half page for 3 people.

I get: shape, fitness, self, and redbook (it's got a mix of a lot of different magazines). The best is that I try to save them for the stepmill or the bike when I'm at the gym. the 30 min usually fly by and I read more articles than I would if I was sitting at home.

i feel mad for posting this, because i am going to go buy a shape magazine and magazines can really add up $$$! so thanks a lot guys
