Default huge mistake
At the supermarket last night i decided to do something i havnt in a while. Yes thats right I bought a fitness magazine. Fitness Rx to be exact. 163 pages of the lastest breaking news!

High Alcohol Comsumption Linked to Obesity ....no freakin way.

Two articles on how eggs are good for you, damn I had no idea. And olive is good for you? wow, i would of never thought, this stuff is ground breaking.

High-Intesity Exercise is Best man, you mean to tell me your supposed to break a sweat at the gym?

Obesity Increases Risk of Prostate Cancer ...obesity increases risk of cancer? Good thing I bought this magazine.

Exercise Makes You Live Longer No way.

Before this magazine I had not idea green tea was good for you......

I cant leave out 150 tips on fat loss.

13. Dront non fat milk
52. Drink fat free milk
just incase you forgot i guess.

Also good to know someone finally came out with an exercise bike that has an lcd screen with a virtual trail!!!!!! Awesome, for only 5,000 dollars i can ride a bike that doesnt go anywhere but i can pretend I am outside. Dang and I bought that pesky bike that rides outside on real trails for 200.

What the hell is wrong with this country. Next time I waste 5 bucks on toilet paper I'll make sure to get the kind without 50 pages of muscle tech and Legal Steroids! adds.

Come on, Steve. Don't you feel a little enlightened?

Thanks for the laugh. What's even funnier is that some will believe that all that is cutting edge.

Hey, at least it isnt doing what Mens health and other mags like to do every now and then.

One issue: Recent studies show that you should eat two eggs with toast every day because blah blah blah.

Next issue: Recent studies show that eating eggs will cause you a slow and painful death blah blah blah.

Next issue: Recent studies show that the protein found in eggs may actually help you live longer blah blah blah

And it goes on and on.

The only benefit of this mag is Greg Plitt on the cover, thats motivation. If you dont know who he is, go buy the book of muscle and marvel at one of the most amazing physiques in the industry.

Also in the mag I learned that preacher curls are the BEST evercise for building your biceps, but only if you drink nitro tech afterwords.

Isn't Fitness Rx the magazine that features all the lifters in only boxer-briefs?

I think it has a different target audience than Men's Fitness and Men's Health...

Steve, you forgot the best advice of all. Buy this overpriced shirt for 350 bucks, made in pakistan by cheap labor, but with a designer label that makes it worth so much more, and you don't need to exercise because the babes (at least those with no brains) will flock to you because you are so obviously cool, if gullible.
