Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts

by 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.

Ep 16: Walking Meditation - Relieve Stress and Get Motivated

22m · Published 26 Dec 15:00

If you’re anxious, stressed or worried, meditation can help. It can reduce stress and bring on a sense of inner peace. 

Meditation is for anyone. You don’t need any special equipment, and there is no wrong way to meditate. Walking  while meditating brings you the extra benefit of movement combined with mindset.  

Each meditation session you do helps you focus and brings a sense of calm. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to:

  • Manage stress
  • Increase self-awareness
  • Control anxiety
  • Improve sleep
  • Gain perspective


This episode of Walking & Talking with Helen will help get started with meditation. It’s simple, easy, and is good for everyone. It infuses you with positivity and motivation, while gently reminding you how good it feels to exercise and how strong you are, inside and out. 

Meditation has been around for thousands of years. It brings on a deep state of relaxation and a peaceful mind. 

So give it a try, whether you’re new to meditation or have doing it for years. Time to show up for yourself.
