Do you think health and fitness magazines influence your attitude towards health?

Q. So does anyone think magazines like "Women's Health" and "Oxygen" (both Australian) change the way you think about health and fitness? Do they want to make you become a healthier more active person?

I am doing an English assignment and I need to know if the magazines effect society in anyway. Thanks for your help.

A. yes cant see a big chick it would be an issue


What was the name of the fitness club for women only in the 1970's?
Q. In the late 1970' early 1980's there was a women's only health spa,gym, fitness center in San Anotnio Texas. I would like to know the name of that club

A. could be a few... Barbara Ellen Fitness Salons were big in the 70's so was Spa Lady.


What's a nice gift to give a woman on a first date?
Q. I'm meeting a woman in a few days for a blind date of sorts. I want to give her something small, not over the top. Typically on first dates I give something like a small box of fancy chocolates. But this girl is into health and fitness. What would be a good neutral gift to give her? She's 24 by the way.
I'm looking for something around $5. Nothing that will freak her out, but will somewhat impress her.

A. I really think flowers are the best way to go. Anything other than that for a first date would kinda freak me out. I think gift giving shouldn't be done till atleast the second or until you know them better. Especially since you have never met her in person yet.


What do you think about average weight guidelines?
Q. I'm talking about the little charts that are on the doctor's office walls and in every health and fitness store in the country. Do you think they promote unrealistic goals for people who have a larger or smaller body frame? They usually have a large range of numbers, for example, someone who's 5'7"should be between 121 and 160 pounds (women)
Do you think these numbers represent healthy weights? What's a better way to calculate whether or not you're a healthy person overall, rather than using fixed numbers on a scale? Any suggestions?

A. I think that they are a good start. I mean they are close, but there are instances where a higher weight can be just as healthy as a lower weight. And you are right I don't think that they take into consideration body frame and muscle mass. I think a better judge is a body fat calculation. I know that there is a healthy range for body fat in men and woman no matter what their height or weight. Each individual is different and should be treated differently, I think that a body fat test is a better judge over bmi, height/weight charts, or anything that doesn't take a body frame into consideration.
