Reframing Exercise as Play


Listen Later

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.
