You, cute activewear, blue skies - the recipe for the perfect hot girl walk. If you haven’t already joined the movement, this is your sign.
Since blowing up on TikTok, the hot girl walk has become a non-negotiable in the daily routines of millions (including ours). It’s the perfect time to romanticize the little things. Soak up some vitamin D, clear your mind, catch up with friends, or stop by your fave coffee shop.
Whether you’re already deep in your hot girl walk era or just getting started, this blog is your go-to guide for making the most of this self-care ritual.
What Is A Hot Girl Walk?
The hot girl walk (HGW for short) started as a TikTok trend but quickly became a daily ritual that’s here to stay.
The concept is simple: throw on some cute activewear, pop in your headphones, and get walking. But it’s not just about getting your steps in. It’s about taking time for yourself, clearing your mind, and prioritizing self-care.
Whether you’re walking solo or bringing your friends along, your HGW gives you the chance to move your body and cultivate an exercise routine you genuinely love!
Benefits of HGW
Think of the hot girl walk as self-care, fitness, and social time all in one. The reason this trend has stuck around is because it has real, tangible benefits for the mind and body. Just a few of them below!
Mental Reset: With a busy schedule and lots of things on your to-do list, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. Walking outdoors helps you get out of your mind and into your body, and is a quick and easy way to put stress to the side.
Easy Movement: The best thing about a HGW, is how accessible it is. If you’re not feeling the gym, a walk in your local area is the perfect substitute.
Social Time: Your HGW is the perfect time to ring your long-distance friend and get the latest tea. Or, you can catch up IRL and plan a mid-way matcha on your route.
Self Care: It’s more than just a walk, it’s a self care practice! Bring your gratitude journal, walk to the beach or park and spend some time being present with your thoughts.
