]]> You may have already heard of Hot Girl Summer, but we’d like to introduce you to the Hot Girl Walk. 

Walking became one of the biggest fitness trends during the last year, as more and more people realized the health benefits of the simple activity we do every day. Not only can it reduce the risk of heart disease and improve weight loss, walking is also quite meditative, meaning it aids your mental health, too. 

One TikTok user, Mia Lind, realized all this and so she created a movement to encourage people to start taking more steps. So far, the #hotgirlwalk hashtag has well over 600 million views on TikTok!

So how exactly does one perform a Hot Girl Walk?

It involves walking outdoors, indoors, or on the treadmill for four miles. During this time, there are 3 key things that you should be thinking about. 

Gratitude

With life being as fast-paced as it is, we don’t often have time to consider all the blessings we have. A family you can rely on? A job that leaves you fulfilled? Hey, just being able to walk in the first place! Take some time to think about all the things that you’re grateful for. 

Goals

Goals don’t have to be enormous, overwhelming ambitions. They can be as basic as drinking a certain amount of water each day. Take a minute to evaluate where you are, where you wanna be, and how you’re gonna get there. You’ve got this!

Confidence

Being hot has nothing to do with looks—it’s all a mindset! So realize your worth and embrace all that you are.

Whether you’re walking to the grocery store or clocking in steps, after a while, walking can get boring. If you’re looking for ways to rev up the intensity of your walks for a harder workout, here’s how to do it.

Elevated Routes

One way to make your walks more interesting and challenging is to choose routes with gradual elevation. An incline can get your heart rate up while engaging your leg muscles.

Guided Walks

Guided walks are a great way to incorporate meditation gratitude into your walks. Many training apps offer walk-specific guided programs and having a coach keep you on track can help push you harder.

#LittlePositiveChanges I started this hashtag some time ago now, to remind me and all of you that it’s the little changes that can make big positive effects to your lives. Sometimes we all make goals that are too big! I have done it my whole life, always challenging myself too much, in these past years mainly around my health and getting fitter. Suffering with Lupus and Hyper-mobility changed my life, years ago I ran for my county, I loved running and being sporty, but slowly that become impossible and then carrying my 3 children took a toll on my body I never knew was possible. 6 years ago after Deacon I had a flare up that meant I thought I would never be able to exercise again. I’ve tried everything couch 2 5k the most recent and when I ended up getting hurt in week 3 I cried and spiralled into a depression. So when I decided to try the @samaritanscharity #Samarathon2019 26.2 miles walking/jogging/running over the month I wasn’t sure how I would do, but I am loving it! The first walked killed me, the second even harder but over 15 miles in completing my longest walk yet yesterday at over 2 miles I excited to keep going. I only walk, jogging is not on the cards for me but who cares as 1 mile was tough day 1 now not so much. Ash took this picture yesterday on our family walk, the wind was against me, I only slept a few hours but with his encouragement I felt so proud even if there is serious visible belly line. So please set yourself #littlepositivechanges and they will feel HUGE! #happysunday #walkingexercise #beproudofyourself #bettshangercountrypark #supportsmall #kentbloggersuk

Pause for an Extra Workout

At the end of your walk, find a bench to do some low-impact workouts to work your entire body. Adding this to the end of your walk will help switch things up while allowing you to get out any extra energy.

Mix Up the Pace

Throw in some speed work by upping your walking pace to a power walk or adding some runs into it.
