If you are looking for a way to keep up with the latest fitness trends, find new workout routines, gear, and techniques, and get advice on eating healthy to maintain your weight and performance, a subscription to a fitness magazine may be a better bet than a gym membership.

There are several different types of fitness magazines, from the general to those that focus on specific types of exercise, like weightlifting or yoga. There are also different magazines depending on whether you are looking to use fitness as a part of a healthy lifestyle, a weight loss tool, or to reach a high performance level or certain body type.

For women, there are a few magazines in the general fitness area that cater to you. They include Self, Shape, and Fitness Magazine. If you're pregnant, there's Fit Pregnancy. For men, there's Men's Fitness and Men's Health. There are also magazines for everyone, like Fit and Health and Fitness Sports Magazine. These publications cover a wide range of health and wellness issues, from healthy eating, to beauty and hygiene products, to the latest medical news.

If weight loss is your fitness goal, check out Weight Watchers magazine. Yoga is growing in popularity, try Yoga, Yoga Journal, or Yoga International Magazine. Pilates is another current fitness craze, and there's a magazine for that, too, Pilates Style.

Bodybuilders have a myriad of choices, including Flex, Muscle and Fitness, and Iron Man. And of course there are magazines for just about every sport imaginable, such as Golf Magazine and Golf Digest for folks who like to hit the links. Runner's World and Running Times are devoted mostly to distance runners. Tennis players have Tennis Life and Tennis Magazine. If you prefer to get your workout in the water, try Swim or Swimming World (they are by the same publisher, you may be able to get both for the price of one). Skiers have their own magazines, too, like Skiing and Ski.

If fitness is your job, subscribing to a magazine in your field could help your business. Personal training is a highly entrepreneurial field, and keeping up with the latest trends could give you that extra edge to get more clients. Check out Personal Trainer Today or Personal Training magazine. If you run your own club, try Health Club Management. Whether you are staying fit, helping others stay fit, or both, there's a magazine out there for you.
