They have the latest and archived editions of Runner's World, Women's Health and Men's Health also thru this app. all of these digital versions are in color and read exactly like the actual printed copy, including the ads.

i searched for Shape, but it looks like my particular library stopped the availability or maybe RBDigital no longer provides it.

about RBDigital:

Thanks. I have not ventured that far into the online world yet... I still prefer paper books & magazines - and DVDs.

Thanks! I'll look into that one.

I just let both my Women's Health & Shape subscriptions expire. I'm not interested in how celebrities keep in shape. I used to subscribe to Prevention, but it's gotten so expensive, unless I happen upon a rare sale for it through

www.Discountmags.com

I highly recommend this website--their sale prices are great. They should be having a health & fitness magazine sale for the New Year's. I will try to post once I find out.

What I liked in the current Health issue - articles on:

A weight-neutral lifestyle
Heart disease
At-home medical tests
Germs (this was very interesting)
Q & A column with medical questions
Fiber
Mushrooms
Goal building for 2020
How to get more sleep ( I NEED this article)
Suggestions for women with thinning eyelashes - I need this article, too - my hair has been thinning on the top of my head and also, my eyelashes - it makes me very sad)

Anyway, I thought it was a pretty informative issue.

Experience Life is all about health and fitness (mental and physical).

I stopped reading Shape at least 5 years ago. For some reason I have kept an old copy from the 90's with Kathy Smith and three other well known trainers on the cover. I looked through it not long ago and was surprised that it was all about fitness, not at all like it's been in recent years. I'm so glad I have it. I am a bit nostalgic about Shape, it's where I first saw an ad for Collage in 95. That issue had two articles that helped me so much in starting my regular fitness journey.

I still have that same issue! Gin Miller, Tamilee Webb, Kathy Smith, Candice Copeland and Kari Anderson on the cover. Shape magazine was also my introduction to Collage and the world of workout videos. I also have the issue from the 90s that lists the 15 essential videos everyone should own - I remember some Karen Voight and Gin Millers on the list.

It does sound like a decent issue. Thanks for elaborating!
