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!
