After seeing the other thread about women's sports magazine I wondered what magazines you all like to read. I'm always looking for good fitness magazines (as if I don't already get enough ) - I love magazines. I regularly read Muscle & Fitness Hers, Womens Health, FitnessRx, Natural Health, and More (magazine for women over 40). We also get Harpers, Bimmer, and Wine Spectator magazines. The post office often comments on the amount of magazines we get in the mail :D
I normally purchase
The Economist
Australian Mountain bike :)
Mountain Biking Australia :)
Triathlon & multi sport magazine
They're the only ones I scavenge for...
c
All these come as a perk of being a member in various organizations
Bicycling (free with LAB membership)
Adventure Cycling
AARP (hubby is over 50 and yes, retired! And the magazine is quite interesting even to me at age 45)
Living Bird (Cornell Lab of Ornithology)
Subscribe to:
Backpacker
Newsweek
Time
National Geographic
Outdoors
I am and always have been a magazine junkie. When i was younger and couldn't afford all of these subscriptions, i would spend hours reading them in the public library. Currently we get:
Time
The New Yorker
Bicycling/Mountain Biking
Food and Wine
Cooking Light
Outdoors (AMC)
MA Audubon Society mag.
I also get 3 professional journals, 2 on a monthly basis, one quarterly. I usually buy More, but I am disillusioned with it; it seems the same every month. I also buy Vogue once in awhile. I have bought Her Sports, which is very hard to find, but the women in there are so super fit (and obviously have no other things to do) that they make me feel like a wimp (as in I'm 65 years old, run marathons, surf, teach Pilates, and support starving orphans in some third world country).
I am a magazine junkie as well! Here's what comes monthly to our mail box:
- National Geographic
- Sky and Telescope (I work part time as a telescope operator)
- Astronomy
- Popular Photography
- Bicycling
- Bird Watcher's Digest
Of course we get Bicycling too.
we also get Natural History
and thanks to the stepfather, we get Time.
We also get a bunch of newsletters from different bike organizations.
I used to get a lot more but it's frustrating after a while trying to figure out what to do with them all!
Bicycling
Real Simple
Oxygen
Cooking Light
And that's about it!
The Old Time Herald (oldtime music magazine)
Fiddler Magazine
Rivendell Reader
We get lots of magazines and I do really finish reading them by the end of the month....
-Bicycling
-Outside
-Shape
-Her Sports
-Triathlete
-Runners World
-Cycle Sport
-National Geographic
-Motor Trend
-Dwell
-Architectural Digest (or Record - I can't remember)
-I think I'm missing one but I can't remember off the top of my head....
-Bicycling
-Tennis
-Busines
-Money

Over the years I've tried Outside, Bicycling and Backpacker, but I got fed up with all of them. I've also subscribed to MS. in its various incarnations and *****, but I just can't be angry all of the time.
That mag that was starred out is Bitc*, as in a female dog. The censor deleted it. lol
Yep, in addition to being my encouraging bike friend and a dozen other things, my husband is a WONDERFUL fiddler. I play banjo and mountain dulcimer. We both play "oldtime" music. Some mp3 samples of us playing together are here: http://harmonias.com/BrianLisaMusic.htmlQuote:

And I played baritone ukulele in an all girl pirate band, until I moved away. I still can play the ukulele, but cycling is my most time consuming hobby.

Hey Mimi- another interesting coincidence, I played stand up string bass as a teenager (seriously enough to play with greater boston youth symphony orchestra) but stopped after a women fell on my bass and destroyed it at the end of high school. In terms of mags, a favorite that no one has mentioned is velo news, I like it cuz it covers womens prof. cycling as well as men's pretty well, but after this season's doping scandals my interest in pro cycling is dwindling...... I also get the free bicycling mag sub., and some professional journals (cell, science and nature). -e

Bicycling

Via (AAA magazine for California)
Now isn't this a little revealing, but I'll have a go :cool:

At the newstand, I'll get Oprah, Real Simple, Vegetarian Times, Vogue, Hooked on the Outdoors, Yoga depending on how the issue looks.

^_^
However, my main mags I like reading are

I check out magazines from the library a few blocks from our house. No bicycling magazines though. Sure saves wasting money on magazines that might turn out to be all fluff anyway.
I currently do not have any mag subscriptions. I had a lot of fitnesss magazines, but was tired of all the ads. Some mags were almost all ads. I am looking for good cycling magazines.
Here are the ones I subscribe to:
Silent Sports
Outside (my absolute favorite-- excellent writing)
Yoga Journal
Vegetarian Times
Mary Englebreit's Home Companion
Country Home
Seed
Health
MacAddict
Bust
And the ones I sometimes buy at the bookstore:
Poets & Writers
Cooking Light
American Bungalow
Orion
Oxford American
Cycle Sport
Road
Nat'l Geo Adventure
Natural Health
I hope this new magazine works out.
We need more women's sports magazines. Not fluffy articles about how to make your butt smaller or stuff about makeup or attracting a dude. I want to read about women who are outside having fun!
You can tell what I used to spend my time doing::) , until I found cycling :D
My list:
All In
Woman Poker Player
Card Player
Real Simple
Vanity Fair
and drum roll please...
FHM (don't ask:D )
Hmmm...
Laptop Magazine
Newsweek
Bicycle
Job Related Mags
