I'm sad because I wasted money

No....I didn't waste my money on ANY beachbody product (actually if I could, I think I'd buy one of everything!!!! Good thing I have a goal of 2009=new homeowners in RyLi!!!).

I got a subscription to what was supposed to be 4 magazines. I have read these magazines for a very long time. One is Oxygen. I love oxygen. I am a HUGE fan of Robert Kennedy's publisher page and all of his other work. Tosca Reno--she's incredible!! I also got Runner's world. WOW that is a remarkable magazine. I don't think it has a bad article in it!! The last two are the biggest sources of disappointment for me. Fitness Rx for Women and Muscle and Fitness Hers. DO NOT GET THESE TWO!!!

The problem with these two is, for starters, they boast of supporting women to get strong and shapely and state "use really like weights to not get bulky" Uhm you folks are PROFESSIONALS you KNOW that women CAN'T get bulky, so WHY are you scaring them against CHALLENGING themselves for an unrealistic fear of getting bulky?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! (See earlier blog post for more on this). They boast of the fact that women can get really strong and yet their covergirls' workouts show them using 8 pounds for back exercises and some even lighter barbie weight for their bicep curls. And you expect to do anything of benefit with these weights?!?!?! Come on!?!?! Show these women doing what they can!!!!! Show them, as oxygen does, using heavy weights and doing really well with them!!

Second of all, M&F Hers is guilty of this one--"Tone your muscles with no workout" I don't care who is willing to pay to advertise but these magazines ought to have a sense of YES and NO WAY!!!! for folks willing to support the magazines. I am utterly disgusted by this magazine right now. Why IN GOD'S NAME is a FITNESS magazine encouraging women to not even workout?!?!?! Trash can here that magazine goes.....and cancelled subscription we come too!!!

That's nauseating for me. This magazine has lost many points over the past few issues and now it's the bottom of the pit. I will never open another one of these again, except to see if my letter to the editor makes it in the pages. Hopefully I'll be able to turn some women to the truth and away from this crap.
