🎁 Looking for a last-minute gift? Why not give the gift of movement, exercise, or sport? This fall, I travelled the world and saw firsthand how making movement and exercise accessible and inclusive inspires more people to get active. That’s exactly what RED January is all about - a commitment to movement and exercise for better mental, physical, and social well-being. 🐾 Matching my movement buddy here, we’re getting ready to "Rise Every Day" in January—whether it’s walking, running, yoga, or any form of exercise you love. What makes RED January special is how it brings people together - meet a friend, family member, or coworker and move your way. 🌟 Led by Janet Omstead, RED January’s mission is to inspire 10,000+ Canadians to get moving and feel included. Together, let’s make January about more than resolutions—it’s about connection, movement, and well-being. 📅 Will you join us? Start moving, invite someone to rise with you, and let’s make movement a gift that lasts. #REDJanuaryCanada #RiseEveryDay #MovementForAll #InclusiveSport #PhysicalWellBeing #GiveTheGiftOfMovement https://lnkd.in/gu6tHU6y

I am thrilled to share that to kick off RED January Canada, the CN Tower will light up in striking red on January 1, encouraging Canadians to start the year with purpose and positivity. This stunning visual display marks the start of a month-long campaign to promote awareness and unity through various community initiatives and encourage people to get active together. What is RED January ? RED January is a campaign that inspires people to "Rise Every Day" together for their mental, physical, and social well-being. You can choose any movement to get active and are encouraged to meet a friend, family member, co-worker, or neighbour to join you. RED is open to all ages and abilities; anyone can participate in their own way—whether through walking, running, yoga, or any other form of exercise. Our mission is to encourage 10,000+ Canadians from coast to coast to participate in RED January and make everyone feel valued and included. Do you work or study at a campus, landmark, stadium or signage company? Would you like to help us light Canada RED? I would love to hear from you at janet@redjanuary.com. A huge thank you to Stephen Brown, Vanessa Francone, the team FUSE Create, and Bill Gaskey for working behind the scenes to make this happen. #humanconnection #physicalactivity #behaviourchange Hannah Beecham MBE, Pete Bombaci, Kelly Letourneau, Sasha Gollish, PhD P.Eng.

🏋️♂️ Rethinking How We Train and Coach with John Sinclair I had an inspiring conversation with John Sinclair from Seven Movements about the evolving world of youth sports and athletic development. As a coach and parent, this one really hit home. John shared some thought-provoking insights: ✅ Why kids benefit from playing multiple sports instead of specializing too early. ✅ How creating playful, creative environments can help young athletes thrive. ✅ The role of tech in modern training—and when it’s helpful vs. overwhelming. ✅ Why it’s time to redefine exercise as something joyful and accessible for everyone. If you’re passionate about rethinking the way we approach fitness, movement, and development, I’d love for you to listen and join the conversation. 🎧 Link to the episode in the comments. What’s one way you’ve seen movement change lives? Drop your thoughts below—I’d love to hear! 👇

Exercise as medicine in Parkinsons Disease. Excellent review discussing the effectiveness of exercise for primary, secondary, and even tertiary prevention for this population. If you're exercising keep exercising. If you are not exercising, try to get started as earliest as possible. Exercise is truly medicine especially for this population. https://lnkd.in/gE-aSwsz #exerciseismedicine #movement #exercisetherapy #brainhealth #cognition #mentalhealth #neuroscience #exercisephysiology #lifespan #aging #neuroplasticity #parkinsonsdisease #nervoussystem #exerciseguidelines #movementismedicine #research #physiology #biology #physicalactivity #chronicdisease #health #lifestyle #lifestyemedicine #evidence #resistancetraining #balance #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #physicaltherapist #exercisephysiologist #exercisephysiology #clinicalexercisephysiologist #clinicalexercisephysiology #prevention #treatment

My Dad was an incredible role model for me. He particularly valued community, human connection, and play!  That's why these values are a fundamental part of my work as a coach, speaker, and play expert and why I was so inspired to bring RED January to Canada with our official Canadian charity partner GenWell.  All of us have or will face health issues that can result in loneliness or social isolation. I know this - deep in my bones - not only because I've been in the health and wellness field for over 20 years but because I watched my father go through it. I was worried about my Dad as he aged. I connected to what Hannah Beecham MBE felt with her own Mom's health challenges (and why she founded RED in the first place) in the cold, dark winter months because I had had the same conversation with my Dad. The outcomes were very different. My Dad was a perfect example of not having a movement habit in place to keep strong and removing himself from the communities he loved the most. He was active and competed but stopped moving once he couldn't play how he wanted to. He had a mental, physical and emotional decline. Because he stopped moving, his social world got smaller, and he lost strength. My Dad died 10 years ago from complications of heart failure. I will always wonder what his quality of life would have been like with more consistent practice, and would he still be with us? That's why I feel so fortunate to lead RED January in Canada. Our mission is to encourage Canadians from coast to coast to Rise Every Day their way and make everyone feel valued and included. Signing up is free. Participants can choose to raise funds for GenWell as part of their goal. This funding will educate, empower, and catalyze Canadians through workshops and other activities on the importance of human connection for health, happiness, and longevity. We're working to inspire the world to Rise Every Day by stepping outside, building new relationships, strengthening bonds, and making connection a daily habit for a healthier, happier society. Together, we can support Canadians' mental, physical and social well-being by fundraising for GenWell this RED January. What I know for sure is this. When we consistently move, we benefit physically, emotionally, and mentally. Not just movement but community and consistency change people's lives.
