Listen "Reframing Exercise as Play"
Episode Synopsis
An interview with Janet Omstead, Play Expert, Health Coach and Author, The Play Book: How to Get in the Habit of Good Health.If you reframe exercise as play, it's just way less of a barrier for people to move without feeling they need to go to a gym or do a hard workout. And like I said, getting to play versus having to play. But play is a relatively low bar you can build on and starting small and building up is what makes things sustainable 100%. And it makes it less scary. Play just feels achievable. And, in my opinion, play is a state of mind and a completely new approach to exercise.Janet OmsteadLearning from children about play and movementCOVID taking the playground awayBringing back the playgroundSustainable exercise behavior change Investing in healthHealth coachingGetting to moveThe five whysPlay and mental healthHelping people who want helpPlay as a new approach to exerciseSetting the bare ass minimum New ideas for playMotivation for changeThe world as a playgroundhttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore
