I'm using a core workout from Runner's World that I love, and I recently tried one from Self that I liked, but most of the Self ones are a bit awkward for me.

However, sometimes I'll look at them (or try them) and realize that they're not good because they either are too complicated (easy to have bad form), just inherently are bad exercises (are bad form to start out with), or they're not natural movements (side sitting tricep pushups I love, but the class really really does not). So I do get lots of good ideas from magazines, but for someone who's not a fitness professional, I'd take some of them with a grain of salt.

In honestly, I never pay any attention to those magazine workouts because I'm just not motivated enough. I have had a few trainers and they work out much better for me but the cost... *sigh* I just can't afford them long enough! Great advice Kelly!!
