007: Creating Fitness Habits with Ryan Frost

by

On today’s episode, an old high school friend joins me to share his newest creation- FitnessHabits.com. Ryan Frost is a Massachusetts Maritime graduate who spent his college years working on big ships, on which he built upon his passion for fitness and athleticism.

Having always had a passion to teach, lead, and be an entrepreneur, Ryan’s passion resides in helping people stay in shape anywhere with whatever equipment (or lack thereof). He has made it his mission to provide people with free health and fitness content through this online platform.

FitnessHabits.com provides free information on fitness, workout programs, and nutrition along with corresponding videos to follow along with at home. Ryan and FitnessHabits hope to serve high schools, colleges, and the every day person in an effort to get in shape and make fitness a habit.

On our episode, we talk about creating habits related to fitness without adding another thing to our days, why people have a hard time creating habits and sticking to them, becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable, and his hopes for how FitnessHabits can help anyone.
