I do a lot of web-reading daily. It’s how I keep in touch with others working on their fitness goals. I read the people’s blogs in the right-side column voraciously. They’re almost always positive, informative, and filled with little ditties about what they’re doing to stay fit. Here are some others I really like.

If you’re not regularly checking out Jaime’s Really Useful Fitness Blog, you should. Today’s topic was about how to make more realistic resolutions. I’ve been making thoughtful faces at my computer screen for months while enjoying this site. It’s worth adding to your list of daily visits.

Also, if you want to read about a woman really taking fitness by the horns, check out Fitnotes.net. Fran is always talking about this or that killer workout, and/or handstands. I am always finding something at her blog that makes me think, “I’m not that strong yet, but I hope to be.” Fran uses a program called CrossFit that is just astounding.

There are plenty of great running blogs, but I’m not going to reinvent the wheel telling you about those. If you’re not looking out from my links on the right side of this page, then maybe check out Mark and Air-run’s big ole list. What I tend to do with running blogs is surf laterally around to other people’s links. It keeps my perspective fresh.

Rob Cooper has a site called FormerFatGuy.com, and I like his story because he came from where I was. I wish that guy up in Maine had a site. I’d shove tons of people his way, too. Anyhow, Rob’s site has lots of interesting things to peek and poke about.

In print, I’m currently subscribed to a few various health and fitness magazines. I’m subscribed to:

Trail Runner
Running Times
Outside
Men’s Health
Men’s Fitness
Experience Life
Muscle & Fitness Hers

That last one is a woman’s magazine, but it has so much more interesting articles about fitness and health than the men’s version, which seems to just be big on supplements and the like.

Who are you reading that inspires you?
