Great post! I've been struggling with belly fat for a long time, until I found this one secret that helped me get ripped abs in 6 months. Check my full story on 6packstory.com/me.
3/19/2013 12:52:28 PM Report Abuseactually I agree with all of you. I don't subscribe to any magazines with teen a 20 something demonstrating the exercises or the recommended diet. I am 53 yoa and I like it real... I do enjoy the information is the reason I come to this site and others.
8/29/2010 09:59:37 AM Report AbuseWow - To my peers looking for more realistic or varied models and movements for the 40/50+ set, I agree, that MORE magazine might be the place to go. http://www.more.com/health
8/23/2010 12:02:56 PM Report AbuseTo comment on today's posts, looking for a way to print more than one exercise. To those ladies, click the link to the far right on that orange header bar that says 'Print All Slides', and you will be able to print out the entire series. There will be an offer to subscribe at the top of the page, but if you just hit your 'Print' button, you get the exercise steps of all the exercises inthe series and the photos.
8/23/2010 12:02:24 PM Report AbuseI have to agree with these ladies....If we could print them out on one page....and give helpful tid-bits If you are over the age of 30 yrs. so that you don't feel a failure if it doesn't look like the perfect model in the demonstration...or give a alternative exercise for the more mature group.....Thanks
8/23/2010 11:44:41 AM Report AbuseI would like it if they would make a print friendly version of these that prints several per page...annoying to print one page at at time of something that takes up so little space!
8/23/2010 10:53:12 AM Report AbuseIf you would like a workout for 50+ or those whom can't move and bend like they use to try prevention.com...as for me I love these moves and fitnessmagazine.com
6/7/2010 06:03:37 AM Report AbuseI am also over 60 and no longer have the rhythm or balance to do these unrealistic excercises. We need a magazine for the 50+.
6/4/2010 10:20:33 AM Report AbuseI love to workout and look firm. There are no models or articles pretaining to my age gr. of 60. I have 9 gr.children and 5 daughters to advise me of how to firm up certain areas, but where are the magazines and articles to also read and gather info?
6/2/2010 03:23:25 PM Report Abusei;m 64 and love to work. There are not many articles related to this age group either. I want to look firm, and keep up with my 9 gr. children and 5 daughters. My boys (3) are already buff.
6/2/2010 03:20:28 PM Report AbuseI believe More magazine is the result of these comments. It's geared toward women 40+.
6/2/2010 12:53:10 PM Report AbuseI've seen this type of comment on this site again and again and yet it is never addressed by the magazine. I don't think they even bother to read what their readers are saying.
6/2/2010 12:36:25 PM Report AbuseI did not subscribe to the magazine for that reason, I feel totally unconnected to a mag that can not (or refuses) to relate to us older persons, and we have way more to offer!!!! A better new magazine, let me know, I am a journalist!
6/2/2010 09:39:38 AM Report AbuseI agree ..would love to see models in 170 -250 range and 50+...it would be ablessing and motervate us that are the woman exersizing at a big size
6/2/2010 09:32:27 AM Report AbuseMaybe we just need a new magazine!I agree with all of you!
6/2/2010 09:28:01 AM Report AbuseIt would be nice to see average woman or plus size woman NOT such skinny girls on the cover of the magazines....and how about 40 n over!?
6/1/2010 09:33:30 PM Report AbuseI'm with you guys. It would be nice to see some real normal people doing the exercises instead of skinny models. I'm 10 lbs overweight and 51 but even when I was younger I always thought the skimpy clothes on the magazine covers were over the top, and now they're not just models, they have to be Hollywood types.
6/1/2010 06:57:33 PM Report AbuseHow true! We need older models too; we buy the magazine and do the workouts! We need to see ourselves. Things are a lot harder for 55+ women.
6/1/2010 06:56:10 PM Report AbuseI guess we just have to pray that we aren't going to be built like the box that we become after menopause! I have hope.
6/1/2010 05:18:43 PM Report Abusewhy are exercise photos of young people. How about something for the 60 and older women..........I exercise all the time and can not rid myself of my belly. Now when I was young, no problem but it's a whole lot different at age 66. Thank you
6/1/2010 04:24:17 PM Report AbuseDido.
6/1/2010 11:58:34 AM Report AbusePlease put this whole set of exercises on a video. Thx
