Women's Health is a magazine focused on health, fitness and daily life for women. It publishes articles on physical fitness, nutrition, mental health, relationships and beauty. Its approach combines practical guidance—such as workout programs and recipes—with in-depth reporting on health questions.
The magazine is part of the health publishing sector in the American market and is considered the female counterpart to Men's Health magazine. It is published in various regional and language editions, each with local editors and content specific to that market, such as the Italian edition.
Contents
Regular sections include workouts focused on strength and cardiovascular fitness, meal plans with calorie and nutrition information, and articles on sleep, stress and reproductive health. The magazine also features interviews with health experts and celebrities, and cover photography.
Digital media
Like other lifestyle magazines, Women's Health has expanded much of its content to websites, social media and mobile apps. Online content typically exceeds the page count of the print edition and includes video workouts and email newsletters.
