Well, the first thing that comes to *my* mind is that a
big supermarket, let alone a health food store, will
have about a hundred pounds of magazines on health,
fitness, bodybuilding, various sports... Write to the
editors of some that interest you; there might be an
opportunity as either a junior editorial dogsbody or a
freelance. (In the latter case, your portfolio of writing
samples and your access to "name" sources and interview
subjects will be important.) Don't expect to earn a mint
either way.
Cheers,
Joe
