It's not always easy to stay active in our day-to-day lives, so Donnovan brings on some experts to discuss the importance of movement and activity. He chats with Peloton instructor and Director of Fitness Programming Matty Maggiacomo on his journey to the company, how the pandemic changed access to at-home fitness routines, which exercises he likes (and dislikes), and how he comes up with his catchphrases. Afterwards, Donnovan chats with a pair of Canadian 90s icons in Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod, who created the television program 'BodyBreak' - they discuss the creation of the program and where it is today. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Coach Carey Nelson's notable achievements are vast, but you would never know it. A humble runner and coach, Coach Carey has been running for over 44 years, and just completed his 6th world marathon major in Berlin. This accomplishment is just one of many, which include winning the Houston Marathon with a time of 2:12 in 1991, and qualifying for the Olympics 3 times, competing in the 5000m distance in Seoul Korea in 1988, and in the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics for the marathon distance (Coach Carey had to withdraw from the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona due to injury). This is all before the era of Strava, smart watches, gels, and fancy carbon plated shoes. In fact, it was a shoeless runner who inspired Coach Carey at the age of 14, and from that day on, Coach Carey knew he wanted to compete in the Olympics one day. Regardless of the long list of accomplishments, I think all runners will relate to Coach Carey's experience with injury, his passion for running as life long sport, and how something amazing can start with a big dream. On a related note: How many of you guys remember Body Break and ParticipAction with Hal Johnson and Joanne Mcleod? They are Canadian Icons who inspired me growing up, and funny how Coach Carey was inspired by them, too. I hope you enjoy this episode. If you want to reach Coach Carey, you can email him at carey.nelson@forerunners.ca . (or find him at the Main Street Forerunners!).

Since 1988, Hal Johnson has been encouraging Canadians to lead a healthy and active lifestyle under the umbrella of BodyBreak.  Anybody who grew up watching television in the 80s and 90s would be familiar with both Johnson and his wife, Joanne McLeod.  They recorded over 300 90-second episodes of BodyBreak.  The show focuses on how exercise can be incorporated into daily life.  The program was conceived by McLeod and Johnson after meeting in a gym.  It was designed to be different than other fitness shows of the era: friendly, representing the sexes equally, and showing both racial and physical diversity, a result of Johnson's experiences of racism, which helped push him to create BodyBreak as a countermeasure.  Johnson is a serial entrepreneur conducting speaking engagements and has their name on many different product endorsements including a recently launched branded clothing line.  He shares some sage advice including the importance of time and taking advantage of it while you can.  Although you can't see it by listening to the podcast, you really are able to experience Johnson's gigantic smile and positive energy and attitude.

Hal Johnson & Joanne McLeod aka 80s/90s sensation BodyBreak! The Canadian television hosts are both former international-level athletes. Hal with baseball, and Joanne as a hurdler. Since 1988, they produced over 300 short episodes of BodyBreak as well as a single season television series. They expanded the program into speaking engagements, fitness equipment, and other products. As a mixed-race couple, they have faced their share of racism, and sought to be inclusive when casting for their BodyBreak episodes. In 2013, Hal & Jo participated in the first season of The Amazing Race Canada (TARC)! This is how WE became connected with them. After our season of TARC aired in 2016, Hal & Jo reached out to us, took us out for breakfast, and they haven't been able to shake us since! In 2016, they received the Governor General's Meritorious Service Medal for positively impacting the health of Canadians. They have an impressive list of guest appearances. Some fun ones include… being grand marshals of the 2013 Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest Parade, being guest “anchors” on the news comedy program This Hour Has 22 Minutes, doing a parody of themselves for the Netflix Series Santa Clarita Diet, and creating a COVID-19 physical distancing segment for the Vancouver International Airport. In this episode, we delve into Hal & Joanne's past athletic careers, BodyBreak, and—of COURSE—the Amazing Race Canada. We'd love to learn more about their love story and experience with racism, so they'll just have to be guests again. Thanks Hal & Jo! https://bodybreak.com/

Libby Znaimer is joined by Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod of BodyBreak. Canada's favourite TV fitness couple has revealed that their show, BodyBreak, was created in an effort to combat racism. Hal revealed, this week, that he experienced racism early on in his career as a Black man. One of those incidents involved TSN who Hal sought to work for as a sports reporter. Initially, he says, representatives of TSN were enthusiastic to have him come aboard, however, he later received a phone call that upper management was not going to hire him since they already had a Black reporter on the network and that "they don't want to have two Black reporters." TSN has since sent out a public apology to Hal citing it as "a shameful part of our past". Hal joins us to share his stories of experiencing racism, details the importance of BodyBreak in fighting against racism and also, together with his wife Joanne, discuss the importance of his wife in supporting him.

Persistence. Hal Johnson has it. Back in 1988, when he and Joanne McLeod, teamed up to create a series of 90-second televised public service announcements called Body Break to inspire Canadian audiences to “keep fit and have fun,” it wasn't embraced right away. In fact, Hal shopped the idea to various places but was turned down repeatedly including by one television network representative who told Hal he didn't feel Canada was ready to see a biracial couple on screen (Hal is half-black while Joanne is white). Others would have been angry, but Hal just used this challenge as motivation. Let's just say, due to his focus and sheer determination, he'd help Body Break become an iconic fixture on TV sets across the country. During this inspiring interview, you'll learn... The importance of taking the positives from rejection to find creative solutions Why you should do investigative work to uncover potential opportunities no one else sees Why it's an absolute must to look for ways to fill a need for people To find out more about Hal and his work with Body Break, visit https://www.thebusinessofthoughtleadership.com.
