Would you want to read about this:

Now that I work for fitness magazines as the creative senior editor, it will be my job to work with the publisher for new ideas. Already in the first week, I hit him with 3....and last night I thought of one more. I know he liked 2 of them already....

You can find all 3 mags I work at in Borders. Yay! Okay:

For the women's fitness magazine, which caters to diet and fitness advice backed up by scientific research:

A feature on Kendra from Girls Next Door. I recalled that she was looking to get into women's fitness magazines as a model; good timing--show is popular. The research department at work is already trying to find out about her...yay!

Review of current exercise videos....such as Windsor P, Fluidity, etc...

Health food spread. Power bars, etc

Last--what about an advice column written by (if possible) Jackie from Work Out? I'm sure someone would ghostwrite it for her, but still....I wonder if they'll be into that??

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Love them all... as for the health food spread, maybe something that focuses more on good, healthy snacks that will give you a good boost of energy for the gym, or before your workout? And maybe have someone do a taste test and review of all the power bars out there - some are good, but some are yucky, and some have a RIDICULOUS amount of fat, and most of us don't read the labels

Re: Would you want to read about this:

I love all of your ideas - I get a lot of fitness magazines and haven't read any of those topics...especially love the Jackie from Work Out - I watch that show religiously and I know a lot of people who do!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Great! And how about alternatives to working out in the gym - ie ballet or dance?

or what about a piece on eco-friendly ways to get fit - like riding a bike to work or something?

Re: Would you want to read about this:

All of them are awesome! Totally something I would read and be very interested in.

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Love 'em all!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

They are all really great!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Love all your ideas!!! I would pick up the magazine & really enjoy reading it!!!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Re: Would you want to read about this:

I appreciate the feedback!

I approached the boss man w/the idea about Jackie and he lit up--he saw the show last night, loved it and was trying to find out about her...so I gave him that "we think alike!" vibe...always a good thing!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

I love Kendra and I think her body is awesome. I love your ideas.

Re: Would you want to read about this:

I'm not interested at all in hearing about Kendra. I just don't like that show.

The other ideas sound good though.

Have you mentioned what magazine it is that you work for yet? Who is it geared towards? Your average female who wants to work out but isn't really hard-core? (for example, women that read Shape magazine vs. women that read Muscle and Fitness Hers or Oxygen)....

Being a mom, for me it's interested to read about women who are working moms and find the time to work out. I love reading their stories. And since Mother's Day is coming up, why not do a spread on working moms who work out?

Re: Would you want to read about this:

great ideas- I love Jackie from Workout- she has a great body and a great business sense

Re: Would you want to read about this:

I think the ideas are great - Kendra does what to get into fitness magazines and I would definitely want to read that

good suggestions

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Here are my magazines; the company does all 3....

Muscular Development (a really hardcore bodybuilding magazine; a real bodybuilder's magazine--the owner is a former pro)

FitnressRx Women (awesome mag for the very fit, nutrition-minded young woman. Not hardcore like the other. Competes with Shape.)

FitnessRx Men (basically the same, but for dudes. Rivals Men's Health)

Re: Would you want to read about this:

all sound great!
I definitely would love cover people to be more "real" fit people as apposed to fitness models!

I agree on every account!!

I have no interest in Kendra. I tend to think that those women's bodies are so surgically altered anyway- that I would not want them as a role model. Isn't she the one who was kissing and holding her boobs in a recent commercial thanking "them" for her new condo

But the rest of your ideas are great!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Just chiming in to ask how the new job is going? I hope you are loving it?

Re: Would you want to read about this:

Sounds good! Good luck!

Re: Would you want to read about this:

i'd probably read them all, except for the exercise video review
