For extensive work-out tips, I suggest you go get "Exercise&Health"; in my opinion, "Exercise&Health" has the best work-out tips, and the magazine has lots of them! For general health, however, I recommend "Men's Health".

My wife gave me this as a Christmas present. The mag looked interesting and appeared to have some good articles. But, when I began to look inside and read these articles I found that they were a very shallow representation of the title on the cover. I found these tiles on the cover to be a gross misleading description of the contents. I am now in the process of cancelling my subscription. It is insanely difficult to find a link that will allow you to cancel. I won't be ordering any more magazines from Amazon. Too difficult to communicate. We asked for some communication about this account to verify the cancellation and have yet to receive any.

The first issue is great. The second issue to helpful. By the end of the year of your subscription, you're tired of learning of another 276 esoteric fruits and vegetables that scientists in other countries say lower some cancer risk by x%. And you don't need yet another workout routine designed by a movie star or athlete. My advice is read a few pages next time you're waiting for a haircut. That's all you really need.

This is one of the few magazines that I can actually read from cover to cover.
The magazine has plenty of good articles on health, exercise, nutrition, sex, etc. I will suggest more articles about sex..

I've had a subscription for Men's Health for over 10 years, but just recently cancelled it. Cancelation was a bit of a hassle as I had to contact them three times.

The magazine is full of little facts, great recipes for quick meals and some decent workout tips. However I found that the articles weren't detailed enough. The workouts weren't thorough enough and rarely offered alternatives for people with troubled area's.

What put me over the edge is the increasing advertisement laden content. Seems like all the products that were recommend would preceded or followed by an advertisement from the manufacturer. So too many advertisements along with weaker content was enough to steer me away.

In addition, every since they brought on the new editor they have had a lot of junky stuff added. Too much relationship stuff and the Jimmy the bartender segment could be thrown out. Seems like it was made for very young men.

I'm also not fond of there involuntary preferred customer program, where they automatically sign you up for the following year. It wouldn't be too bad if their online system worked, but it didn't work the 3 times I tried.

I've enjoyed subscribing to Men's Health magazine in the past but I had to stop to prevent being sold products and renewals without my authorization. Be aware that with your subscription, they will automatically renew your subscription "for your convenience" and bill you accordingly.

Also, I would receive post-card notices in the mail about their latest fitness guide ($28) and how I can "preview" it for 21 days. Of course, I think not and toss the card out. Too bad I didn't pay close enough attention. I have to fill out and send the card back in order to decline. The fitness guide shows up in the mail and I have 21 days to repack it and ship it back. They got me with two of them (I admit, I did fail to get it shipped back before 21 days was up) and, along with the auto-renewal, I had enough and called and told them I didn't want to be a customer anymore. Fine....I thought. It's been four months since my last issue and here I am now with a postcard from Rodale Books about previewing the 2008 Fitness Guide. I guess cancelling my subscription wasn't enough to keep them from auto-selling me stuff.

Can you imagine this new tactic of selling becoming the norm? The retailer gets to choose what we order and it's up to us to decline it. Crazy! If you google for "Rodale return card 14 days" you'll see that there are some who have attempted to sue Rodale over this. Think twice before ordering this magazine and being subjected to the same sales tactics.

I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. It keeps him away from my magazines and appears to cover almost everything from nutrition to fitness to relationships - and some of the advice is spot on!

A friend introduced me to Men's Health a couple of years ago. I have been a regular reader since then. The primary reason that I read this magazine is because it motivates me. The interviews and articles are written in a way that encourages reader to engage in healthy lifestyle. For instance, a typical celebrity interview would include their favorite exercise, often with pictures.

The articles are informational and are written in simple English. I especially like their coverage of medical issues such as memory loss or diabetes. They provide prevention tips and support them by latest research.

This is not a fitness magazine. As the title suggest, it is about Men's Health - fitness, exercise, food, clothing, style, and habits - anything related to health. Overall, it is an excellent magazine.

I am dissapointed at the fact that I only got one magazine. I am gonna try again.
I wonder what happened to my money

Has decent articles in it. Not sure if it's going to change your life, but when you're on a plane, it does the job.

My problem isn't with the magazine itself, but with their new (or at least new to me) subscription policy. Subscriptions now automatically renew, which means you will start receiving bills months before your current subscription ends. If you decide you don't want to renew you must call them. If you don't they will turn you over to a collection agency, even if you don't receive issues from the new subscription.

I have subscribed to Men's Health off an on for many years, and even own some of their books. This is the first time I have had this problem, and it will be the last. Apparently they are getting desperate trying to keep their subscribers.

First off, I am not a health nut, I dont go to the gym; lets face it, I dont exercise like I should, or eat like I should. I am an active guy but I dont have regular workout plan. I do love this magazine though. I had bought a few from a local store every so often and had to order a subscription. Their regular articles are great, I really like the 3 sex ones, and all of the stats on men and women. The little add-on on almost every page giving a percent of the male popluation that has or hasnt done something or something is great.

The articles on health issues, say the prostate are very informative yet simple enough the average person can understand them. Yet even as a biochemist I find them captavating. I dont usually spend to much time reading the atricles on working out, as I dont really do that, although one day... There are articles on just about everything; gadgets, clothing, cars, getting ahead on the job, etc..... Everything you would want for a guy magazine, its just not the main focus. I have changed my diet from reading some of the articles. One thing you wont really find in here is politics, which is fine by me. Usually a magazine will pick one side or the other and completely turn me off of it, I think its better that they just stay out of it all together. One last little bit of info, there arnt a whole lot of ad's, as compared to other magazines. There are some at the beginning and end, but very few in the middle (as far as whole page ads go).

I highly recommend this for any guy out there. Even if you dont want to subscribe right away, go pick up a few issues from time to time at a store and give it a chance, it wont take long before you do subscribe.

This magazine is good for a year or to buy an issue if it has a specific story you are interested in but it doesn't have much staying power.

* The workouts are recycled. They may change a few exercises but it is always the same swiss ball crunches and weightless squats on a bench. Though most health/exercise magazines do have this problem.

* They always have a 6 page advertisement toward the end. Yes 6 pages. It is normally from the company that makes Hydroxy cut. But the worst part is that it always has the disclaimer that the claims haven't been evaluated by the food and drug administration. Isn't the name of this magazine Men's HEALTH? Yet they run ads for untested unsafe over-the-counter supplements. This advertisement is in addition to all of the other supplements that have full page ads.

* Next, as one earlier reviewer mentioned, the clothing in the fashion section is always extremely expensive. I'm not a thrift store shopper but I don't spend over $700 on one outfit either.

Not to be all negative I have to admit there are some issues that really rock like the interview with Thomas Jane about his Punisher workout and the article about physical requirements of dangerous jobs like Marines, Army, SWAT, FBI, etc.

I just don't feel that it is worth what they are charging. As I suggested buy an issue from the newsstand if it has a special article. This magazine will bore you if you read every issue.

I always learn something new and useful from this mag. I read this and the Wall Street Journal.

wow. I'm sorry i just saw Mc.Steamy on the cover. enough said. this man is gorgeous.

Men's Health is one of the most popular men's magazines because it meets the various expectations and needs of the modern man. You simply have to know about fitness, dieting, supplements, fashion, gadgets, etc. The annual subscription makes it a bargain and you get so much information for a few bucks. One of the most interesting sections is the one dedicated to bedroom activities. The tips are definitely useful and yet I highly recommend in addition the bestseller "scientfically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex" for the latest secrets in this area. Another key feature of the magazine is that it motivates you to stay healthy, lean and fit. There are weight loss tips, advice on how to eat and exercise in order to see results fast. This is important part of keeping sharp appearance. Overall, I can reasonably say that you will learn a lot, have fun reading it and most probably it will help you up to a certain limit to be a good looking man and great lover.

I do not recomend ordering mens health through Amazon.com

I signed up for the whole year through amazon and paid in full. I started recieving the magazine immediatly. Its now been like 10 months and I have only recieved 3 issues. since then I have not received a single issue

great magazine if Amazon could get their orders to go through correctly and customers were assured they would actually get the MAGAZINE.

this's an IMPRESSIVE magazine!!! there's SO Much in there!!! Recipes, workouts, health tips, ChiC tips......EASILY the handiest magazine you'LL buy!!!

I bought this for my boyfriend because he kept taking my Cosmo magazine. It has great articles for guys and for their girlfriends.

The magazine covers an overall spectrum in order to touch on areas of interest for all individuals

I've been an avid Mens Health reader for years now and enjoy the almost every article. Great finance tips, good everyday man stories, and great sex tips. The cooking ideas cannot be topped in most cooking magazines.

I rate 3 stars because during the last few years I've seen repetive articles, after about a year or so the same topics will come up again with no fresh information. During the last year or so the magazine has began catering to the 6 figure man. I'm no slouch but I cannot afford to spend $500 dollars on a pair of pants.

All in all a good magazine. If your a normal man looking for anything outside expensive fashion tips, finance tips for 6 figure investments, recipes on roast duck, or awesome workouts made for the corporate executive your looking in the wrong place.

It took forever for this magazine to get to the address and it also is shipped a week to 2 weeks after the magazine is already on the stands. What's the point of having a subscription if you get the magazine later than everyone else? I will never order a magazine from Amazon again, I'll go through the actual magazine company instead.

You can tell a lot about the readership a men's magazine is trying to reach by scanning the first three car ads. In the issue in front of me, they flog the Lincoln MKZ, Range Rover Sport, and Audi A6.

There you have it. We're going for the affluent but not super-rich young guy who won't even become aware that the Lincoln Town Car and Audi A8 exist until he turns 55. Well, 52 maybe.

But you didn't need the cars to figure out MEN'S HEALTH.

It's about what all men think about and what affluent guys with six-pack abs (in reality or in their dreams) can generally snag: expensive suits, beautiful women who seem never not to pout, and beefy arms to set off those abs.

To be fair, there is actually a fair amount of *health* under discussion in these pages. But I doubt that's the main reason guys pull this magazine off the shelf instead of, say, DOG FANCIERS.

In spite of an irritating habit of treating women as trophies to be won or dupes to be lured, there is a good bit of wit in here about what one might call the manly dilemma in the modern world. And if it really is lack of *just* the right workout regimen that has kept you from getting all that's on offer in MEN'S WORLD, well, there's at least one new workout each month that will cure all that ails you.

Don't mistake this monthly for serious journalism. But you won't need a brown paper bag to carry it out of the store either.

I kind of like it.

This magazine offers plenty for its readers. Various advice on career issues, fitness, financial planning, sex, nutrition, style, weight loss, time management, and even recipes. It is clearly accessible and brief in its execution. Which is fine, since life can get rather hectic nowadays. It is somewhat similar to "Mens Journal." But, with far more attention on health and fitness. I deduct 1 star because it was better written in the past. Still, it is the best mens magazine available today.

I have many men magazine, none comes close to Men's Health. Some magazines are too glossy that spell "expensive" for what ever they wanted to promote. With Men's Health, I get to everything from A to Z. I always pass my old copies to my local library for their own collection.

I haven't recieved a single copy so I can't really review it. All I can say is the amazom service is terrible.

My brother dismissed magazines such as "Men's Health", due to an errant assumption that such publications were not for typical suburban Dads like him. A heart attack and quad bypass later, he changed his mind! I bought him a subscripton to enjoy during his recovery, and he has really gotten a lot out of it. It's not glossy "fluff"; it actually has stuff he reads and uses each month. This is one subscription that is worth every penny.

I like the magazine, but to be honest you still get some good information from it, matter of fact it is still a bargain for the price of the subscribtion. But time is money and I have too many things going on in my life for me to read MH

It's funny, but my husband subscribes to this magazine, and I subscribe to WOMENS HEALTH, but it's this one I prefer. I've finally nailed it down to it being just a little "sexier." As in, the celebrity profiles and the short pieces on sometimes pretty random things.

For instance, recently there was an article on Adrian Brody and all the weight he had to drop (plus learn to play piano!) in a very short period of time. He described locking himself in an apartment, all alone, because he knew he couldn't achieve new goals by living his life the way he had always done. That really resonated with me since I, too, am trying to achieve things I never have before. It's an inspiring, helpful magazine, and I think many women would benefit from reading it just as I do!

Plus, this month there's Josh Holloway, and who's going to say no to that? :)

I ordered these for my boyfriend and we both love them! There are so many great articles..not just a bunch of advertisements like most magazines are.

If you're looking for a men's magazine that will help to keep you informed on fitness, weight loss, nutrition, sex and style - then this is a magazine you will have an interest in.

The layout is simple, with the most important information highlighted to draw your attention. I have found this magazine to be extremely helpful in keeping myself fit. I find an abundance of useful material each week and there is always a recipe or something that I find myself trying out with each issue. Great stuff.

First let me say, the vast majority of men in the US, need to read this magazine. Why three stars? Simply put, MHM overloads you with too much information, without putting it together in a bigger picture. Should I really be excited to hear some pop icon or actor's workout every month? And if you expect to afford the clothes in this magazine, you should be earning $100k a year.

Something else that bothers me about MHM, is the magazine still debates the roles of alcohol, beef, pork, marijuana, coffee, and processed foods in seeking optimum health.

The magazine never forgets to issue advice on every sort of interpersonal/social situation, and if your a little slow, I guess you need it. On the other hand, if you meditate and have some degree of intuition, you don't need all that advice, it's common sense.

MHM and Rodale press could just publish one workout book every decade, as "breakthroughs" don't happen very often in the realm of physical training. Just look at the US military. Also, who knows how much money the beef industry pays Rodale, let alone all the other products they "recommend".

My problem with Men's Health Magazine is it's role, to make money. Despite these setbacks, and considering the widespread obesity in America, I'm glad to see this magazine on the shelves. If you want to be as healthy as possible, get Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods.

I picked up my first issue and I am very impressed. They have a plethora of interesting and useful information that make you stop and think. Good articles on all male topics like sports, fitness, health, sex, etc. Great read. Pick up a copy.

I have been a subscriber to Men's Health for many years but ahven't found a subscription for less money than Amazon. Great magazine and great price!

Two years ago I was 285 lbs. At 5'8", that was morbidly overweight as my doctor would write on his checklist of me.
I made a conscious decision to change myself. I read Men's Health and followed the articles' suggestions. I followed the eating lifestyle they suggested. I exercised using various exercise they suggested.

Eventually, I bought the "Book of Muscle" they also published.
Today I am 160lbs and fit. Playing baseball, playing with my kids.
Men's Health is filled with great articles about fitness, health, healthy eating, exercise, sex, etc... I only gave it four stars since there is generally a good portion of fluff in there that I don't read. For example, I really don't care to know what drinks attract women at a bar. But if you pass over the fluff and read the substance, and actually DO some of the things they suggest, you can look like the guy on the cover.

Like anything else in life, nothing is free, hard work and dedication are required.
