be a better bet than a gym membership.

of fitness magazines, from the general to those that focus on specific types of
exercise, like weightlifting or yoga. There are also different magazines
depending on whether you are looking to use fitness as a part of a healthy
lifestyle, a weight loss tool, or to reach a high performance level or certain
body type.

area that cater to you. They include Self, Shape, and Fitness Magazine. If youre

Pilates is another current fitness craze, and theres a magazine for that, too,
Pilates Style.
Bodybuilders have a myriad of choices, including Flex,
Muscle and Fitness, and Iron Man. And of course there are magazines for just
about every sport imaginable, such as Golf Magazine and Golf Digest for folks
who like to hit the links. Runners World and Running Times are devoted mostly to
distance runners. Tennis players have Tennis Life and Tennis Magazine. If you
prefer to get your workout in the water, try Swim or Swimming World (they are by
the same publisher, you may be able to get both for the price of one). Skiers
have their own magazines, too, like Skiing and Ski.
If fitness is your
job, subscribing to a magazine in your field could help your business. Personal
training is a highly entrepreneurial field, and keeping up with the latest
trends could give you that extra edge to get more clients. Check out Personal
Trainer Today or Personal Training magazine. If you run your own club, try
Health Club Management. Whether you are staying fit, helping others stay fit, or
both, theres a magazine out there for you.
