Beware, gentlemen. And when I told them I had gotten only 8 issues, they never replied. I subscribed for 1 year and got only 8 issues. When I asked them about it, they said my subscription had expired.
They don't have much to write about and what's left they fill with ads. I lost interest in this magazine long ago. It's the same bologna one issue after another.
Anyway, MH could be salvaged if they would leave out the Obama propaganda pieces and just decided to step outside of themselves for some fresh content. I'll echo what has already been written by quite a few: Men's Health has become a shell of what it used to be. It got to be a joke how many times I tried, but they kept sending issue after issue. I hope they do.but I'm not counting on it.Oh, and don't even think you can unsubscribe once you've paid. You can only go over the same routines so many times, over the same routines all the celebrities are doing, and what foods a guy should eat this month before someone decides they're the wrong foods to eat next month. It has become so repetitive that they used the same cover, with all the same articles teasers, and just changed the guy on the front (Tyler Lautner.whoever, one of the guys from the vampire movies).
May have seemed like it would be another quasi-misogynist man-rag but don't read those parts ;)Just kidding, it's not offensive and has been surprisingly illuminating.I keep meaning to tell my dad not to renew my gift subscription but when I flip through one, I always feel like I learned something I want to come back to.Ordered this for a friend and no problems so far. you'll get what you need out of a years' worth and if you love it after that, come back later.Lots of good exercises, some great reasonable articles that encourage you explore more online. I am not an avid magazine reader so a number of these are still in the wrapping.That being said, when I do crack into one, I've always been pleased. as evidenced by most pages being dog-eared ;)I saw one reviewer mentioned getting this for a year and I agree.
There are good articles from time to time however. Go to your local market and pick up a copy. Go through it and just imagine every month being basically the same with minor tweaks in the info. I subscribed to Men's Health for over two years and recently I've been going through the back issues to cut out some stuff for an art project and I can attest that 'there are only so many ab exercises one can do'. I would simply read these online if it happens to catch my interest from looking at the cover. I guess it would be good for someone that needs a new routine every now and then or a reminder of how to properly stay in form. Every month there is a fold out workout plan /poster that focuses on a certain area of the body (abs, shoulders, legs, etc) and looking back it was pretty much the same stuff every month. The stuff in the beginning is usually diet and quick news bits about health, some sex-related Q&A, and well ads throughout.
