Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts
Are you feeling stressed? Out of focus? Tired? Unmotivated? Let's work on that.
This walking workout is the perfect podcast to listen to while walking outside or indoors. I guide you through each walk, making sure you get the most out of every step while releasing stress and staying motivated. If you’re walking for weight loss, we’ll also turbocharge your calorie burn with small speed increases throughout.
In the unscripted and often (unintentionally) funny podcast episodes, we chat about how to get motivated, build healthy habits, spark some joy, get more energy, and much more.
This free podcast is hosted by me, Helen M. Ryan - certified personal trainer and former fitness instructor, and author of three healthy lifestyle books. I started walking and ended up losing over 80 pounds, getting in shape, and changing my life one step at a time. Good things happen with small steps.
