What's Your Favorite Health Magazine?

December 6, 2008

I have a few subscriptions to health magazines, and I get so excited when they arrive each month. Not only do they give me helpful tips, new fitness routines, and ideas for healthy meals, but what I love most about them is they encourage me to continue my healthy lifestyle. Everyone has a favorite mag so tell me . . .

Shape. Easy to do excercies and useful tips for health and nutritions.

I began subscribing to Women's Health bc I liked Men's Health. I also love the models in the mag - it makes a huge difference to me - I'm celebrity obsessed enough, and an anonymous face with a fit body is way more of an Everywoman feel. :)

My favorite didn't make the cut: Oxygen!

Runner's World is one of the few that doesn't say "Hate your body! Don't eat! If you eat calories you will get FAT! Now, be toned but not TOO toned, or you'll look like a MAN!" on every other page. Runner's World talks a lot more about the sport and actual nutrition and becoming stronger and faster.

I hate Shape and Self because there's usually 1-2 pages on actual sport and fitness, and then the usual women's mags stuff that pads out the rest. Runner's World for me, partly because it's gender-neutral and just all about the running.

Oxygen - for serious fitness content and reports on the figure competitions

None of the above. My choice is "Prevention."

I chose Body+Soul. I like the articles about the soul as much as those about the body. I didn't renew my subscriptions to Self or Shape this year. They just seemed like they were getting really repetitive. Some days I regret it, though.

Women's Health !!! although self is pretty good...

The girls on the front of Shape are always super thin and in a bikini...that's unattainable for me so I like Self. Many of the others on this list I've never read.

i'm surprised fitness didn't get more pull... i like it a lot, but i think maybe i'll pick up a copy of women's health since it seems to be a winner

I don't read magazines. They create too much of a negative self image, no matter what the supposed topic is. They're just not healthy!!

"Fitness RX" and "Oxygen" should be on the list! They do not get nearly enough credit! http://www.fitnessrxmag.com/ http://www.oxygenmag.com/ All the other ones seem like pure FLUFF....

I selected Womens Health (which i do enjoy reading) but only because Oxygen wasn't in the choice line up.

I won a Self Challenge grand prize trip a few years ago to LA (worked otu with Gunnar Peterson) so I'm impartial to it but in reality, I love Yoga Journal for professional reasons.
