 I really like Shape March 29, 2002
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I read some of the previous reviews and honestly I don't fully see where they are coming from. I've subscribed for about a year and a half and while I see some recaps on some similar exercises, they throw in new things a lot. There are a lot of recipes and notes on diets and such that I love, and they only talk about how bad fad diets are and don't advertise for them! The workouts do mostly require membership at gyms, but that's why there are magazines out there like Self...I kind of consider Shape for not so amateur exercises and Self for the new and not really wanting to spend a lot of time at it person, or who wants to workout only at home. It's great they show you the equipment and how to use it...and all kinds of great little tips that are helpful. I also do like a little of the beauty stuff, yet it's not overwhelming it. yes the clothes are spendy, but who says you have to buy them? I think they are in all magazines!
Teaches Enlightenment In Your Own Beauty January 6, 2003

I've always been a very physically active person.. I like to run and I like to work out.. but fitness magazines for women tend to be one way or the other: "Don't bother with weight loss, find inner peace with Yoga!" or "How Many Pieces of Lettuce You Can Eat A Day To Look Like Janet Jackson." Sure, it's mildly entertaining to look into varieties on either side now and then, but what about those of us who want some recipes, PRACTICAL training tips and quick workout guides? Shape magazine stresses the points that I think are most important in a women's fitness magazine. It offers inspiring weightloss stories, quick (and edible) meals, and fun workouts to boost your regular ones along. And while some of the workout tips CAN get repetitive, just remember.. there are only so many different ways to do a sit-up. Readers of any and ALL fitness magazines know that they usually have the same exercise tips to offer over and over. Shape encourages and enlightens. It shows a way to incorporate exercise into any lifestyle and gives you the encouragement to continue an exercise regimen-- no matter how sedentary you are.
Shape and Self are Great May 14, 2002

I have been reading Shape and Self for a long time and have always been impressed with the number and variety of articles each has in it. Shape focuses more on workouts that Self does, and self focuses more on general well-being but both encourage diet and exercise. I would recommend them to anyone!

Shape focuses on all levels of fitness for women. The success stories are motivating, detailing statistic on people who have lost inches, pounds and who have transformed their lives. The most important part of exercise is doing the moves right to avoid injury. Shape features "reader models" who are everyday women to educate on do's and don'ts focusing on specific parts of the body. Over a period of time, I learned new exercises for my entire body which kept the workout new and interesting. I have been a fan of Weider magazines but found myself identifying with Shape because the focus is not on bench pressing 200 lb's but on overall health!

This is a great fitness magazine with tips for everyone - a newbie in your fitness goals or already spend four days a week at the gym. Articles are easy to read, loaded with info, yet not in the least bit boring.
