Getting Fit in the New Year

USA.gov provides a list of popular resolutions for the new year, and one of the top resolutions is getting fit. Let’s take a look at some resources in GALILEO that can help someone keep this resolution.

GALILEO offers access to the full text of several popular fitness magazines, such as Men’s Fitness, Running and FitNews, and Shape, and it also includes some publications for those more serious about exercise, such as American Fitness, Bicycling, Joe Weidner’s Muscle and Fitness, and Runner’s World. Just go to Magazines A-Z to search for these or magazines that you like. If you want to know when a new issue is added, you can set up a journal alert.

In addition to the magazines, you can find many more articles, fact sheets, and more in several databases, such as Consumer Health Complete or MasterFILE Premier. Just search “physical fitness” or “exercise” in these or other databases listed in the Exercise subject area of GALILEO. If you have a particular topic that you like, you can set up a search alert so that you will receive emails when an article about your topic is added.
