love it! :)

I love this magazine because they have so much information and tips and the articles are excellent! I have started a subscription to this magazine from the website! I can't wait to get it in the mail!


Self - A Fabulous Beginner's Guide to Shaping Up

As a college student, finding time apart from "dates" with my Chemistry and Physics books and my 16 hours of coursework to get in-shape is practically impossible. Self magazine offers basic health tips and unique workouts that help me maintain good health habits while away from home. Monthly fixtures of the magazine include beauty and fashion tips, nutritional information (including recipes), sample workouts for getting fit, and health articles. Considering my beginner status on the fitness-frenzy totem pole, I'd recommend Self to anyone who has never truly cared about fitness (until they made their latest New Year's resolutions ;D), college kids with little time and means looking to formulate a fitness plan, or anyone curious for new workouts.

Just cancelled my subscription

I've been a Self subscriber for two years, and I just cancelled subscription. At first, I loved the magazine because it offers lots of nutritional advice, and the Self Challenge, which starts in March, is really helpful for starting an exercise routine.

However, after two years, I've noticed the following:
- Content tends to repeat over and over. If you subscribe, you'll really only need one year to get the gist of what they'll say every month.
- Too much emphasis on statistics. I tried to count the number of studies Self referenced in one issue, and lost count because ther were so many.
- Too much editorializing on social issues. I don't like being preached at in the name of "women's health," but that's just my personal opinion.
- Not enough discussion of exercises to do at the gym. If you don't have a gym membership, Self is great at providing exercises you can do at home. But there's almost no discussion of how to effectively use weight lifting machines, or even free and hand weights.

All in all, a pretty decent magazine. But not good enough for a renewal for a third year!

Not bad

SELF is pretty good as far as fitness mags go, but you can get a subscription cheaper (for $12) at Self.com.
