Be honest—does the idea of working out ever feel more like a punishment than a joy?

You’re not alone. So many of us have been conditioned to see movement as something we have to do, rather than something we get to do. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be that way.

What if working out wasn’t a chore but a chance to play? 🎉

This week on WTF: Where’s the FUN?, we’re thrilled to host Janet Omstead— board-certified health coach, behaviour change expert, and author of The Play Book: How to Get in the Habit of Good Health. Together, we’re talking about how reframing exercise as play can completely transform your health and happiness.

In this episode, we dive into:

✨ Why so many of us lose our sense of fun as we grow older—and how to bring it back.
✨ How to create simple, playful habits that make movement easy and enjoyable.
✨ Practical tips like taking “play breaks” and finding micro-moments to move.
✨ The magic of RED January, a global movement helping you stay active, boost your mood, and feel connected this winter.

Janet’s insights will inspire you to reimagine movement as something energizing, easy, and FUN—no matter how busy life gets. Whether it’s dancing in the kitchen, playing with your kids, or finding moments of joy on a walk, you’ll leave ready to create playful habits that truly stick.
