I used to read fashion magazines until I realized how terrible they made me feel about myself! They tear you down so they can make you think buying overpriced clothes will make you feel better and look like their uber thin models. I want to read magazines that promote health and fitness and women who are actually beautiful and strong, not emaciated and dying. Which one would you recommend?

    I like SELF, personally. I did get women's health for a while, but I didn't really care for it. SELF tends to be much brighter and more well rounded. I also used to get Yoga Journal, but I just can't afford the subscription anymore.

    I agree with lizard... I love Self magazine... I have had a subscription to it for years. They have awesome exercise pull out cards and mini workouts for various popular programs (like Crossfit).

    I still read my fashion mags because I LOVE fashion, and Cosmo is good mindless trash (I have a subscription, don't hate) but I LOVE Oxygen magazine. I used to like Shape until I realized a lot of their fitness advice was pretty misguided.

    Oxygen is awesome though, definitely my fav health/fitness mag!

    Had 2 subscriptions:

    Shape was my favorite. Lots of fitness & health related stuff there.

    Women's Health was like "cosmo" with a couple health articles thrown in ... not impressed

    Most magazines have lots of free on-line stuff. Fitness magazine is one I signed up for.
