Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts

Helen M. Ryan

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.

Small changes give big results when you are trying to lose weight, get fitter, and become  healthier. Don't believe me? The small steps I took helped me lose over 80 pounds... and keep the weight off for 17 years.


I put together a LIVE workshop in my Facebook group called Small Changes = Kickass Results. This is a recording of day 1 from the workshop. I share what I learned about taking smaller steps to get where you want to be.


(It's not the best audio quality but the information is GOLD. Woo hoo).


You'll discover:

• How to fit movement into your daily life, easily

• Why sitting all day is so bad for you and what you can about it 

• How to keep burning calories all day (burn, baby burn)

• How to reduce headaches and neck/shoulder pain 

• How to start eating healthier without depriving yourself

My superhero guest in this episode is ALLY REYNOLDS. Ally is not only a physical therapist who specializes in injury prevention and ergonomics, but she also practices what we preach: working in movement every day. Learn more about Ally at https://yourperfectposture.com.au


Days 2 and 3 of the workshop give you even more superpowers to get healthier with LESS STRESS. Join my free Facebook group to watch them (or to see the video from day 1):

Getting started is the hardest part. But there are little hacks to make it easier.

There is a bell at the halfway point in case you want to turn around. 

So.... lace up your shoes and let's get walking and talking about getting started with weight loss and exercise - and pretty much anything else.

The dream: Being healthy, strong, and happy in your own skin.

Do you think that's possible?
Do you think we will ever be happy with our bodies?
Are they fit enough?
Curvy enough?
Young enough?

Put on your walking shoes and head out with me (or, you can join me for an inside walk, too).  This is a coached walk and we chat about your feelings, discovering love for your body, and how finding something that lights you up inside might be the key you've been looking for.

Seeing things with a different set of eyes is not always easy, but you may walk away (pun intended) with a fresh perspective.

I also share something fairly shocking I was told by a past boyfriend. What?? It was ugh.

This walkcast (coached walk/podcast)  has background walking music to keep you moving. For a version with voice only, listen to episode 7B.

Feeling overwhelmed, paralyzed, and can't get anything done? We all go through periods where life feels like a struggle and even the simplest tasks seem so hard. But there are ways to cope and make things easier.

This walking podcast episode is full of practical tips to help you survive and thrive when you're unmotivated, including:

  • Understanding why you're stuck: It's not laziness or lack of willpower. It's simply overwhelm, which zaps our energy and motivation.
  • Practicing self-compassion: Be kind to yourself. Shame and self-criticism only make things worse. Instead, focus on accepting your feelings and realizing that where you are is exactly where you need to be right now.
  • Start small: Don't try to do everything at once. Begin with tiny, manageable tasks.
  • Making things easy: Use paper plates, make one-pot meals, and simplify.
  • Being OK with imperfection: This is a no perfection zone. House not clean? Don't care. Just focus on getting through the day.
  • Tuning into your body: Listen to your body's signals. The body knows.
  • A physical thing: Sometimes, low energy and low motivation can be caused by a medical condition.
  • It’s good enough: Why right now, the best you can do is enough.

Additional Resources:

NO MUSIC VERSION:
This episode has NO background walking music. If you want to walk to the beat, listen to episode 25A. There’s a bell at the halfway mark so you can turn around.
So, grab your walking shoes, take a deep breath, and join me for a coached walk (though you don't have to walk to listen).
