BODY BREAK For the past 23 years, under the umbrella of Body Break, Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod have been communicating to Canadians the important message that making small lifestyle changes can benefit an individual and their families for a lifetime. They got their start with Participaction and had a relationship with them for 2 years. Hal and Joanne then took their idea and continued with 30, 60 and 90 second TV programs. Hal and Joanne have also developed and produced Body Break – 39 - 30 minute TV episodes, syndicated radio tips and workout videos. They enjoy doing corporate presentations and have launched many Body Break products from memory foam pillows and beds to fitness equipment. Hal and Joanne most recently became Directors of Health and Wellness for Truestar Health. Hal and Joanne's mission is to heighten the awareness of the benefits of a healthier, more active lifestyle. They believe that by encouraging and communicating their message in an entertaining, upbeat, and positive way, people will begin to fully realize the implications of their actions and take responsibility for their total well being. In turn, it will benefit us all.

Hal Johnson, 55 - Hal grew up in Toronto, Ontario. His love for baseball as a youth lead him to a scholarship at the University of Colorado. Hal went on to represent Canada at the Baseball World Championships in Japan in 1982. He was later drafted in the sixth round by Cincinnati Reds but opted to finish his business degree. Besides having a successful baseball and business career, his extensive sales background and enthusiasm to keep fit helped launch and sustain Body Break's longevity. In his "spare" time you might find him golfing, playing hockey or working out on his treadmill.
