Fitness Friday: Cosmo Body Magazine

Just after christmas when I was out and about shopping with mum I picked up a copy of a magazine which I hadn't seen before.

To be honest I don't know what made me pick this magazine. I don't normally pick up any magazines like this because I get the slimming world magazine from my class which obviously is more tailored for the eating plan which I am following. To be honest as soon as I picked it up I wasn't overly optimistic about what was going to be envisaged it was going to be all about fad diets and eating really weird stuff to help you drop 14 stone in a day as Peter Kay would say.
Anyway despite all of this I picked it up and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! This magazine retails for £4.99 so it is higher price than most of your grab and go magazines that are out on the market but I have to say this magazine is worth every penny!

This months magazine as you would expect is all about making the most and making changes for 2014. This magazine is full of really interesting articles including a piece on 2014 fitness trends such as Aqua Spinning, HIIT and Glow Ballet, an interview with Davina about her weight loss and how she stays fit,  Help! Im suffering from Gymtimidation and how to eat to beat stress. It also has different examples of exercises throughout as well as different recipes on the top 10 Super foods - which can easily be adapted for Slimming World.
2 of my favourite articles which I enjoyed reading were one on Intagram #fitspiration which was about people who post pictures on Instagram about fitness (as a self confessed instgram lover I really enjoyed this) and another one which was all about "what no one tells you when your weight changes" which made a very interesting read as someone who is on their own weight loss journey. In particular the one about the girl who says that dropping 4 dress size gave her anxiety.

As well as this, there are all the typical things you would expect in a magazine with clothes and fitness gadgets.

Have you picked up this magazine? I think it is definitely worth a read as it has some really good inspirational pieces in here and some great articles. I really hope this magazine is a regular thing as I will be picking it up!
