Hi Walkers!

Does it feel like your metabolism has taken a permanent vacation? And the only way to get it back is with long, torturous workouts that you just haven't got time for?

Yeah, I'm not too fond of that idea either.

What if you could spark your body's energy-burning machine by working smarter, not longer?

This is a 20-minute power walk workout that's going to show you how to use simple, easy-to-do tricks to keep your metabolism burning - not just during this walk, but all day long.

Here's what I've got for you on this walk:

• Why short, intense intervals are your metabolism's best friend.
• Why "exercise snacks" - tiny movements you can do throughout the day to keep the flame alive – rock the free world.
• How to turn a park bench or a curb into your own gym (no membership required).
• The time I learned what a real sprint feels like by accidentally biking onto a freeway.
• Background music to help you keep the beat

If you are ready to pump up your walks and turn your body into a fat-burning machine, then let's get going. You can walk outdoors, or indoors on whatever equipment you have (and even just walking in place).

P.S. You'll hear a bell halfway through the walk. If you're outside, that's your cue to turn around and head back.

Hey Walkers!

It's that time of day, isn't it? Your brain is threatening to go on strike, and the siren song of the sofa (and maybe a bag of chips) is getting louder by the minute.

I get it. The afternoon slump is real, and my first instinct is usually a nap (but no can do).

But what if, instead of crashing, you could recharge in just 10 minutes?

This isn’t a punishing workout; it’s a quick reset for your body and your brain.

In this 10-minute power break walk, we’re ditching the extra caffeine and going for something that actually works.

Here’s what I’ve got for you on this walk:

• A simple trick to break up the workday and beat the 2 PM brain fog
• Background music with a steady beat to keep you moving
• My ADHD-fueled observations to keep you entertained
• A tip I picked up from Billy Idol, my pretend husband since 1984

If you're tired of feeling like a zombie in the afternoon, this walk’s for you.

P.S. You'll hear a bell halfway through the walk. If you're outside, that's your cue to turn around and head for back.

A quick note: This is an encore presentation of one of my most popular episodes. If you've been feeling completely worn out, this one is for you. (Originally released as Episode 23A on October 30, 2022.)

If you’re feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and wiped out, the reason may surprise you... especially if your doctor says everything is OK.

In this walking workout, we'll talk about why all the tension in your day-to-day life—from the news, from social media, from our never-ending to-do lists—is literally forcing your body to live in a state of constant low-level stress.

And that constant stress will wipe you out. No joke.

This episode features background walking music, a bell at the halfway mark, a few intervals, and some energizing countdowns to get your heart rate up.

Slip on your walking shoes and let's talk about some simple ways to reduce that strain and get your energy back. If you want to feel like your old self again, it's time to go walking and talking with Helen.
