Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts

by Helen M. Ryan | Walking Workouts

Feeling tired, stressed, and not motivated to exercise? You're in the right place. If you want a podcast to walk to... hi! I'm your gal, with a walking workout that makes time fly and feels like taking a walk with a friend in your ear. Whether you’re stepping outside or walking at home on a treadmill or walking pad, these episodes turn “ugh, I should move” into “yes, I can do this” so you get more energy, more motivation, and overall just feel better and healthier. You’ll get a mix of walk types so it never feels the same every time:  • GET STEPS IN walks. Hit your daily step goals the easy way. • STORY WALKS where I entertain you while you walk  • TRIVIA and FUN THEME WALKS for the days you just need a reason to move • LOW IMPACT and BEGINNER FRIENDLY I’m Helen M. Ryan, a former personal trainer who lost over 80 pounds naturally… and I still have days where I don’t want to do it either.  As a business owner with ADHD and hypothyroidism, I know what “no energy” feels like. Blech. That’s why I created this free walking podcast that helps you show up, get your steps the easy way, have a laugh, and then move on with your day.  This show is for you if you ever ask:  • How do I get motivated to exercise when I don’t feel like it? • How do I work out when I have no energy? • What’s a good quick walking workout for busy days? • How do I fit exercise into a busy schedule? • How do I stop procrastinating and just get moving?

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I almost cried today finding this podcast. Ever since COVID I’ve been looking for something just like this. Currently experiencing life trauma, with a lot of anxiety and panic attacks. And listening to Helen today gave me hope and made me feel better. Can’t wait to listen to all of her episodes! Helen, thank you for creating this particular podcast.

Broke Bball · Jul 2025

I love working out and meditation but I’m easily distracted. This is the perfect solution. It’s a good pace to keep you engaged and so simple. Often the walks include taking deep breathes and information about why walking is so important as she guides you through your work out.

Monica LPM · May 2024

Walking and Talking is just the pep talk I needed! As a yo yo dieter for years who was always sabotaging my efforts, it's like Helen is reading my mind. This is the voice of sanity I needed to stay focused on track. I can't wait to listen during my regular exercise routine to keep my negative monologue in check.

I love how Helen does a lot of non "typical" things (like walking instructions, 2 versions of each episode etc) Helen is super relatable and shares great advice
