MEDICINE
A Natural Change
Natural Solutions, February edition
The 14-year-old magazine Alternative Medicine relaunched this month with a new name and a Web site overhaul. According to editor Linda Sparrowe, using vitamins and supplements and buying organic produce is hardly radical behavior anymore, so the magazine ditched the old-fashioned name. Inside, readers will find a new section called "Simple Solutions for Vibrant Health" alongside familiar content such as an eco-chic fashion spread.
EXERCISE
Wogging, Anyone?
Family Circle, March edition
"If you regularly walk about 30 minutes most days of the week, you are ready to start wogging." Wogging? It's a silly word that means to combine walking and jogging, though not necessarily at the same time. The magazine's six-week wogging plan resembles interval training with recommended workouts such as walking for three minutes, jogging for seven and repeating it twice.
