It's good to see the old Gray Lady get egg on her face, but their
Health & Fitness section has a lot of unusual findings. I mean, how
come none of the health magazines talked about this? Not Runner's
World, and not any muscle mag -- not even Milo. These aren't very new
studies, after all.
I would have thought that by the time I read something about fitness
in the NYT, it's already old news. But I have not seen comparable
articles in the health magazines I follow.
Right off the top of my head I can recall some memorable ones:
Yoga Guy -- about the one-man ***** patrol that's found in every yoga
class.
Calorie Counts -- how wildly unreliable cardio machine readings
*necessarily* are.
Working Through Injuries -- contrary to the old adage about rest,
newer findings suggest that working through certain injuries is
actually a better course of action.
Runners' Circles -- the article made me think of usenet hobby
newsgroups!
Genetic Disposition for Certain S****ts -- based on one's physical
genotype.
How come the health and fitness magazines don't discuss such things?
How many issues of recycled workout tips can you do before people stop
renewing their subscriptions??
