Walking & Talking with Helen - Walking Workouts

Feeling Grumpy? Walk Off a Bad Mood | 10-Minute Walk [Encore]


Listen Later

This short walk is for those days when you're in a bad mood and want to run away everything. 

If you’re feeling stressed, grumpy, overwhelmed, or stuck, this short walk helps you clear your head and puts you in a better mood. No toxic positivity here. 

You can walk outside, or at home on a treadmill or walking pad.

  • Snap out of a bad mood without pretending problems don’t exist
  • Find one tiny good thing (like an amazing cup of coffee!)
  • Do a beginner-friendly, low-impact walking workout
  • Get in about 1200 steps 
  • Reset your mood with a quick scavenger hunt in your head


And because I have ADHD and drift, I also...

  • Share the story of "Welcome to my tired and defeated spin class"
  • Almost forget to cool you down because... Bob Marley
  • Explain why “just think positive” makes me even crabbier
  • Talk about how a good song (and dancing around your house) can boost your mood
  • Realize that Matlock's Kathy Bates was right: Two things can be true
  • Send you off with a virtual hug and, "Don't worry about a thing
    'Cause every little thing gonna be alright..."

This walking podcast includes background walking music, tips to relieve tension, and a bell at the halfway point.

If you need a quick walking workout, a better mood, a little stress relief, or just a way to break out of a bad mood loop, lace up your shoes and come for a walk with me. We can make ourselves less grumpy together. And if that doesn’t work… I’ll meet you at the airport.
