I've skimmed over a few the articles in this series and I'm confused as to how it keeps making appearances on the front page of HN.
There is nothing specific here that applies to start-up founders/employees/entrepreneurs (despite the intended purpose), the articles are poorly written and far from complete, most of the advice is common knowledge, and the rest of the advice is of dubious value.
For anyone looking to get in shape, I highly recommend reading the stickies in the John Stone Fitness forums:

- pchristensen 18y agoBecause it only takes a few votes to get on the front page, David has some HN readers that subscribe to his blog, so within a few hours of submitting, 1-2 upvotes put it on the front page. Once it's there, more people see it and upvote it. It doesn't take much. On a depressing note, once an author has a history of getting upvoted (37s, Godin, Maroon), people race to submit anything they write so they can get karma.

- lemonysnicket 18y agomost of the advice is common knowledge, and the rest of the advice is of dubious value So in turn, your advice would be to read random fitness forums...
- jadence 18y agoNo, my advice is to read well regarded forums (John Stone Fitness is one of them) and to read the stickies which are posts that have been deemed ("moderated," if you will) by the readers and the moderators to be the most informative.
