What Is The Hot Girl Walk Trend Everyone Is Talking About?

Oh, it’s just your new favourite workout.

It’s no secret the major benefits a daily walk can have on both our mental and physical health. It’s a great low-impact workout that helps to clear your mind and lift your mood thanks to the release of serotonin (the feel-good hormone). Walking can also help to de-stress, improve our heart health, manage our weight, and even boost our immune system. But the best part about it? It can be done by anyone, from serial power walkers to someone who enjoys an easy stroll.

And what if you could elevate your daily walk to not only improve your physical health, but your mental wellbeing too? That’s where the hot girl walk comes in.

The hashtag #HotGirlWalk emerged on TikTok in early 2021, and has since clocked over 200 million views and counting. Unlike other fitness trends, the Hot Girl Walk doesn’t come from a place of weight loss or changing your body (although, some have seen amazing transformations from committing to the daily walk). The true Hot Girl Walk? It’s all about feeling good about yourself – the ultimate goal, in our eyes.

Hot Girl Walk, explained
The Hot Girl Walk is a 6.4km mindfulness walk that is done outside everyday (tell the treadmill to take a hike). The three core elements of this walk centre on gratitude, positive thinking and manifestation. During this walk, you’re meant to focus on just three things:

Things that you are grateful for
How hot you are
Your goals

While we love a good trend (goddess salad, anyone?), this is one that we can see ourselves getting behind for the long haul. Not only does the Hot Girl Walk encourage us to get up and get moving, it helps us focus on our mental health by mindfully creating positive habits that are easy to do and can be done by anyone looking to manifest their most abundant life.
