Advantages: Has given me lots of tips which have really helped me and changed my lifestyle.

Disadvantages: Maybe a little bit pricey

As a runner who finds running magazines a little boring and samey, I have long been searching for a health and fitness magazine that isn't just about diets and which has interesting, original articles. 'Zest' appears to be that magazine.
At a price of £3.30, it doesn't come cheap in comparison to other womens magazines but is on par with most other 'fitness' publications. A very healthy looking, smiley model often greets me when first approaching this magazine, usually accompanied by some very enticing headlines. Once opened, I'm not confronted by extortionate amounts of adverts which is always reassuring after parting with more than a couple of pounds for a magazine. What is good, is that inside there are interviews with professional athletes as well as ordinary women who are trying to get fit. There are numerous exercise plans- from running to cycling to toning up. Intelligent, informed articles on such topics as superfoods, dangers of certain prescription drugs and the latest research, findings in health breakthroughs. There are numerous real life stories which are both inspiring and informative. The rest of the magazine consists of an 'ask the experts' section, relationship advice, product reviews, buying guides, tips and the latest fitness news/trends and healthy recipes.
I now buy 'Zest' almost every month (it is a monthly magazine) and I genuinely enjoy reading it and unlike most magazines, I actually read it all- cover to cover. I have followed plenty of the tips from the magazine and have also purchased several products that were reviewed and recommended in 'Zest'.
I will go as far as to say, for me 'Zest' is the best health and fitness magazine out there.

Summary: A must have health and fitness magazine for those that want an informative read that isn't boring.
