Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts

Need something fun to listen to while you walk? This 20-minute guided walking workout is packed with '80s MTV memories, Gen X nostalgia, 80s-style background music, and just enough coaching to keep you moving while your brain takes a trip back in time. 
Walk outside, or at home on a treadmill or walking pad.
Today you'll get...
About 2500 steps
A fun way to make your walk less boring
A trip back to the early days of MTV
Upbeat instrumental walking music and walking cues
A walking buddy in your ear

And because I tend to drift (thanks ADHD), I also...
Introduce you to my pretend husband, Billy Idol
Forget my cats' names but remember every '80s lyric
Decide I could've been Bono's sister
Get emotional over Do They Know It's Christmas
Tell you the story behind Dire Straits’ Money for Nothing
Take a trip back to U2, Madonna, Tom Petty, A-ha, Thriller

This walking podcast includes background music, walking cues, an optional cool-down, and a bell at the halfway point if you're walking outside.

Not a morning person? Me either. But this 10-minute guided morning walk is a brisk (ish), music-led way to get some steps in before life gets in the way. Walk outside, or at home on a treadmill, walking pad, or even marching in place.
You'll wake up, boost your energy, and fit in a little movement before work, errands, emails, and everything else demands your attention.
Even if you're grumpy in the mornings (like me), you'll get:
A beginner-friendly, low-impact morning walk
About 1300 steps
A little more morning energy
Some peace before the day begins

And because I tend to drift (thanks ADHD), I...
Confess I used to eat ice cream out of a gallon container
Threaten people who talk to me pre-coffee
Blame Billy Idol for a 6 a.m. class

This walking podcast includes upbeat background walking music, walking cues, an optional cool-down, and a bell at the halfway point so you know when to turn around.
If you're trying to get some steps in before something happens to throw you off, or want to build a morning walking habit, lace up your shoes and come with me for a morning walk.

Need time to yourself?
This 15-minute guided walk is intentionally different from my usual walking episodes. 
Clear your head, slow things down a bit, and enjoy walking to upbeat music.
If you've been feeling stressed, distracted, or simply need a few minutes to yourself, this walk gives you a chance to take a walking break and clear your head while you move.
I won't be chatting as much as I usually do (wait, what?), but I'm still right here with light coaching and walking cues to help you get your steps in.
Walk outside, or at home on a treadmill or walking pad.
Get...
A chance to clear your head and take a break from all the noise
A beginner-friendly, low-impact guided walk that's still a workout
Upbeat background walking music and light coaching
A walking break to unplug for a few minutes
Plenty of space to think (or not think), daydream, or simply walk to the beat

There's a bell at the halfway point if you're walking outside.
If you've been craving less talking and more movement, lace up your shoes and come for a walk. No pressure. No weirdness. Just 15 minutes to clear your head and enjoy the walk.
