This is such a fun episode because Janet Omstead loves to play, she lives and breathes it! It’s all about your mindset! Most people don’t enjoy “workouts” because it sounds like work! However, when you instead choose to “play” in whatever way brings you fun and in bite-size pieces throughout your day, you are boosting both your physical and mental health exponentially. Janet has written “The PlayBook”, which is an easy read with many helpful tips and 150 ways to play to get you started. For good health, it’s recommended you get 150 minutes of movement/week! It’s not about the “1-hour workout” that you can never make time for, break it down into 20 minutes/day, that’s doable! I love the idea of ‘play’, it feels light, refreshing, and fun, so let’s all get out there and enjoy our playtime and stop taking ourselves so seriously! Life is way more fun (and way healthier) that way!

About the Guest:
As Canada's play expert, author, and executive health coach Janet is on a mission to reignite people's passion for play to help fight lifestyle-related diseases while improving their quality of life as they age.
With over 20 years of experience in the health and wellness industry, Janet Omstead's strength as a play expert lies in working with habit-based change behavior psychology, allowing individual and corporate clients to make sustainable progress towards optimal health. Ultimately, Janet helps her clients thrive through a "deep health" methodology.
Most importantly, Janet guides people as they change their habits and have fun!
Janet is passionate about helping people make each day a little better because she learned to make every day count at a young age. After recovering from a near-death experience in 1991, Janet promised herself she would listen to her body and thoroughly embrace life.
This positive mindset has seen Janet through the ups and downs of raising kids, recovering from injuries and accidents, being a caregiver to her husband through his cancer journey, and losing loved ones. It's also enabled her to embrace unique opportunities, such as interviewing world-class athletes during her years covering the Olympics with CTV Sports, traveling the world, and singing joyfully in a rock choir.
Janet knows there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health. Her life's work is helping others live healthy, full vibrant lives. Through her personalized "outside of the gym" play-based approach, Janet helps her clients look for the good, find gratitude, and find joy.
