15-Minute Walking Workout | Is Walking Really Exercise?

About this podcast

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 human-powered 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?
