What to Know About the ‘Hot-Girl Walk,’ TikTok’s Latest Fitness Obsession

If you’re on social media, the “hot-girl walk” shouldn’t be a new concept. The refreshingly straightforward trend of taking a solo walk outdoors—although an accompanied stroll is also fair game—has taken social media by storm for both its physical and mental-health benefits. If you’re unfamiliar with the details, let us break it down for you.

What is a hot-girl walk?

Originally made popular by TikTok influencer Mia Lind, the college student decided to “rebrand” the often overlooked exercise of walking after seeing positive benefits in her own life. While the benefits of walking are not new—think increased clarity, reduced anxiety and boosted cardiac health—the hype around it certainly is, and we’ve already hopped on the bandwagon.

How do you hot-girl walk?

The guidelines to the hot-girl walk are simple: Walk two to four miles daily (equating to around 4,000-8,000 steps) for about an hour. During your walk, listen to podcasts or music, and keep your thoughts positive and uplifting. According to Lind, in order for your walk to be considered a hot-girl one you can only think about three things: What you’re grateful for, What you hope to achieve and, naturally, how hot you are.

What is required for a hot-girl walk?

If you’re ready to join the hot-girl walk tribe, nothing is required other than walking shoes, some headphones and a positive outlook. However, there are some trending picks that have been deemed hot-girl walk essentials. Below, a guide to get you started.
