About This Podcast

Feeling tired, stressed, and not motivated to exercise?

You're in the right place. If you want a podcast to listen to while walking... 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 walking outside, on a treadmill, or on your walking pad at home, 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 with simple tips and hacks (and intervals)

• STORY WALKS where I entertain you while you walk 

• TRIVIA and FUN THEME WALKS for the days you just need a reason to move

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?
