Advantages: Might be a good read if you're a fitness fanatic

Disadvantages: difficult to summon enthusiasm to read about "Christy's Curves" if not!

This is not a mag I'd have picked off the shelf. I am interested in fitness and am a regular gym user, but I tend to look for something more in a mag than 101 tips on how to be slim and toned.
If you are more serious than me about fitness and health, or maybe just if you have more time for this kind of thing, then this may be a mag you'd want to buy regularly.
I admit to finding more of the articles interesting than I anticipated, but still would not buy this.
Leading articles include "Burn 1000 extra Calories a week!", which is not as tedious an article as I would have expected, "Christy's Curves", which I couldn't even summon up enough interest to read, and "20 New Ways to Stop Stress Eating" which was probably the best article I've read on the subject!
There is a problem page for fitness queries which is interesting and helpful, but also a lot of very uninteresting and uninspiring pages full of the kind of articles which thankfully fill up fewer pages in other mags.
I accept that real fitness fanatics might find this the ideal mag, but for someone juggling keeping fit along with running a hone and looking after a family, not to mention working, and for whom being fit is less than a total preoccupation, I'd say look elsehwere for something to read, unless like me, you get it free off the net!
