If you remember it a few months ago, I did an analysis of the health
magazine for men to judge the advice on fitness and male behavior they give
to men. If you still remember once, I judged and found them wanting
severely.
It is the doctor's office the other day, I happened to get hold of another
publication on the mass market, targeted to the fair sex, that being we
Magazine. With nothing to read, I flipped through and was really surprised:
For if it had all the flotsam of pop culture and celebrity gossip that most
of us associate women's publications, I was surprised by the diet and 20
fitness tips he gave to loss weight. Namely, I could not t believe how much
better fitness tips in a woman's magazine was a magazine meant to be for
the edification of men's health.
We can see that we Magazine readers are well educated in the areas of & #
8230;
1. Make heavy lifting exercises
Whatever your opinions whether or not women should be lifting weights
(personally, I feel gymnastics and gymnastics are both more sensitive to a
woman's natural attributes and are more likely to give women the figure
that they wish), the idea of the intense physical activity is always a
good idea, although we Magazine s idea of heavy lifting is not what you
or I would call heavy lifting. The basic concept is still valid, and once
again, I remember that magazines such as Men's Health gift & # 8217; t even
discuss heavy lifting at all.
2. Avoid foods that are labeled & # 8221 lite;
I have absolutely no objection to that, advertisers have long learned the
legal vacuum that allows them to use the weasel words that Don t mean
anything to mislead consumers into thinking it's something else. I have
said and I'll say it again: don t eat anything that someone in 1900 wouldn
t recognize.
Half of the words on the label aren t real words.
3. Work the core
You are all aware of the importance I on core workouts, and demand remains.
Of course, basic training is crap and void, but again, the concept remains
valid. In neither traditional men's or women's magazine you will see the
basic training I favor, such as L-Sit or farmer overhead s walk, but again
women and # 8217; magazine shoots narrowly before because it at least
raises the question.
4. Do informal & # 8221; Exercise
They call find pleasure, but is essentially the concept of informal
exercise, dancing, swimming or walking. Just find a form of involuntary
exercise throughout the day in addition to real structured exercise
regimes. It is an effective technique for weight loss that makes it all the
more annoying that's not discussed at all in men's publications (probably
because we need to peddle more merchandise dude-bro).
5. Judge for yourself with ladders Everyday
As I said in the article of the will, it still takes a concrete step to
give you a kick in the ass. This kind of tough love & # 8221; is inherently
masculine & # 8212; the kind of advice a father should give his son well &
# 8212; and yet it's found in a magazine for the fairer sex and not in a
magazine for men.
6. Balancing Plate
Something that is true in theory, but the magazine recommends 50%
carbohydrates, 20% protein, 30% fat, when in fact, men and women should do
something close to the exact opposite of what for weight loss and general
wellness. Admittedly, these are tips that I've seen in men's magazine, so
in one respect both publications are equal.
7. Weightlifting
As I said I'd prefer women to do gymnastics / gymnastics, weights are not
so bad for women, and recommends the same compound lifts such as squats and
deadlifts & # 8212; target probably anatomical regions that women have more
of a biomechanical advantage because of the natural width of their hips.
And again, information on these basic compound lifts were completely
lacking a comparable man magazine, which is the most shocking thing of all.
Conclusion
While some of this may not be the best for women (? Deadlifting), the fact
is that a fashion magazine for women is to objectively best advice for men,
then a man's fitness magazine. This article was written and didactically,
but not necessarily for training purposes. If you need proof of how the
powers that attempt to restructure gender roles, here it is.
