Only two weeklies rise to the challenge of giving us health and fitness tips. First out of the blocks:

NW - Pg 60 - What’s your celebrity fit style?

Similar to last week’s exercise article, this is a quiz with four parts about exercise and diet which is supposed to tell you which au currant star you’re most like. Since those stars are Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton, Renee Zellweger or Gwyneth Paltrow, I’m hoping I get all A’s. (Anyone who’s read my reviews before will probably be able to guess which I’d like to emulate). One handy feature is the suggestions for balancing your preferences - eg, if you like yoga and Pilates, you need to add in some cardio. Valid point. When I took the quiz, my answers were all skewed by the fact I didn’t want to be like Paris Hilton, so I don’t know how accurate it can be. But as I’ve said before - celebrities, diet, exercise - what’s not to love? ***

Pg 70 - These People Weight Two Tonnes

Promo for the Biggest Loser, profiling the contestants. See article below for my feelings about the show.

Famous - Pg 64 - The 10 Superfoods

“Giving you everything from shiny hair to strong nails, these little gems are a must have for your pantry”

Including chocolate, red meat and veggies among other things, this list declares itself the bomb on what to eat. I can’t disagree with any of it. So grab this mag at the checkout and make sure your trolley is full of the things it’s listing here. ***

Pg 75 - Crunch time (Biggest Loser Promo)

As tragic as it is to admit it, I’m hanging out for the new series of the Biggest Loser to start. I like to pretend it’s “professional interest”, but that’s a thinly veiled lie. I’m a sucker for reality tv, and this is about as insane as it gets. I also like to yell at the trainers antics, then dissect it all with my clients the next day.
