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?
