I am open-mouthed. I'm almost more annoyed that after WH went to a trainer as their expert source, this 'trainer' came up with total nonsense.

From the silly articles to the unrealistic models, they all seem to be shallow and only focused on losing weight, not being strong! I also cringe at their "fashion" spreads that find clothes for different body shapes and sizes. The "pear shaped" model never has any hips.

My husband reads Men's Health, which is full of hard workouts, healthy recipes, and useful health articles focused on men. So I picked up Women's Health, hoping for a female-centric version. Nope, it is full of diet tips and wimpy workouts and how to look pretty.

They have an amazing opportunity to really get a fair message out there by using existing research about health and exercise, but at the end of the day their goal is to sell magazines, right? Good thing we've got bloggers to balance the scales!! And that whole armpit fat thing? RIDIC. I just killed my lats and chest this week with the pulldown and bench press (over 10lbs mind you) and uh, no pushed out fat here. SMH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
