I’ve written a bunch of articles about health, fitness, and the challenges of getting in shape, and I thought it would be useful to compile some of the best articles in one place. Many readers have only begun reading Zen Habits in recent months, and may have missed some of these classics.

So here they are, in one handy list -- bookmark it and come back anytime you need some exercise motivation!

A quick note: Again, there are a lot of articles below. Please don’t read all of them, as I’m sure you need to get back to work. Choose a sample, and you’ll do just fine - there are some common themes that run through all of them anyway.
