the new yorker has some great articles. I print them from their website and read them while working out or commuting, though.

How can you read and work out at the same time?

Excellent question. It essentially limits my cardio work outs to the elliptical (can't run outside and read at the same time of course, and too much vibration while on treadmill). Then while lifting, during my 30 seconds (between supersets) or 1 minute breaks (between muscle group supersets) I occupy myself with reading. I think it actualy results in longer breaks but *******. For those of you trying to figure out what a superset is... I do total body work outs so short but intense (in my opinion) cardio, then two sets of two opposing muscle groups (biceps, triceps; back, shoulders) with crunches in between. Each set of two muscle groups and crunches is a superset, inbetween the superset I rest for 30 seconds. When I switch muscle groups I rest for 1 minute (after cardio and before lifting I rest for longer probably 3 minutes). Work outs are about an hour, results probably aren't mind blowing but I'm pretty happy. *** Apologies for hijack ***

I have an Audible New Yorker subscription. Just gives me a few of the articles. I also have a subscription to the print edition though I may not renew it because I rarely read more than a few articles from it.
