What magazines dp you buy????

**stl50** · 04-22-2011, 11:07 AM

The reason I'm asking, I like to read workout magazines sometimes, and am finding it harder and harder to find one for women worth a crap! I used to read Muscle and Fitness hers, but it seems that it is shrinking fast. I won't stoop to the Shape's and Fitness mags cause, well, IMO they suck if you're actually serious about lifting.
I do love being on the computer, and visiting the various sites, but sometimes I like curling up on the couch with a good magazine!!!
Sorry for the rant....

Honestly, I don't read any of them any longer.

I am a fan of Oxygen for a good 'magazine fix' BUT...honestly there is SO much more info online, I'd rather just use an Ipad and browse online. =)

Just picked up "Clean Eating" April/May 2011 issue. The cover offers "61 Quick & Light Family Meals" as well as "Your No-Diet Diet - 14 days of meals to keep you healthy & lean".

And if you want no ads, but good info there's Robert Kennedy's (of the aforementioned "Oxygen") magazine/book "Oxygen - Total Summer Body Plan". On your local newsstand now.

I used to subscribe to Oxygen, but now everything they print I've seen... even the pics. Things are just being recycled.

I do like Clean Eating, I'll pick that up for some new recipe ideas.

I used to grab MD... they were doing features on FBB there for a few months about a year back, but that died.

I can't stand several of their "columnists."

Flex can have some good stuff.

But, really I don't read many magazines anymore. Like was said, way more is available on the internet. I do miss having a good old fashioned magazine though.

I tend to get my 'fix' when I got the nail salons. They always have some random gossip garbage there to feed off of. LOL I'm really into books lately.......

Which ones?

I'm listening to "Under the Dome" for, like, the fourth time. And reading "The Dark Half" which is another book by Stephen King.

Anyone else care to share what they're reading right now?

i do subscribe to clean eating. i get all the womens mags at work, so ill flip through them when i have down time.

**BikiniAshley_62** · 04-23-2011, 10:22 AM

Ugh. I am a magazine ho. Lol. I buy them all, any related to bodybuilding at least.

I finally sent in a bunch of subscription cards so that I can save money!!

The first one i started reading was MD. Wish it featured women. A lot of the women mags are very fluffy.

Speaking of magazines, who here remembers the early 80's when we had 8 different womens bodybuilding magazines every month.....wow! That was an awesome time!

As far as todays periodicals, the only thing I read these days is Vanity Fair. It has some great writing, a nice mix of hollywood, and in depth political stuff.

**BikiniAshley_62** · 04-23-2011, 02:16 PM

Yes.... true!!! I guess my "fluff" now is reading all my BB Health and Fitness stuff.... even though its not fluff.

I WILL read a gossip rag if I see it, BUT I WILL NOT buy them anymore.

@The guy who said we waste our money and its all about the internet- I spend LESS on magzines since I discovered these forums!!!!! I am a pediatric home care nurse with a bit of downtime at certain cases and I am ANAL about making sure I have entertainment with me for when my kids are napping, etc. But a few clicks on the smart phone now and I'm in Heaven!

I just don't like to miss anything. I also use the magazines for cutting up for vision boards, and what not. I collect my MDs.

I WILL NOT buy "Health" "Prevention" "Self" "Shape" etc. I'm sorry. Those magazines are a freaking JOKE. Women's Health is one of the worst. I want to bitch slap the people who put these rags out. OK... I'm too new here to say more, I'm shutting up!!!

XOXO
