What is a hot girls ride?
For a regular walk to count as a hot girls walk, it must meet the criteria. According to the creator of the fitness trend, Mia (aka @exactlyliketheothergirls (opens in a new tab) on TikTok), hot girl walks only allow you to focus on three things:
Hot girl walks are all about celebrating your accomplishments and feeling proud of yourself, things many of us aren’t that good at. The trend started as a four-mile walk, but distance isn’t the requirement here, it’s about embracing movement and getting those feel-good vibes.

I Tried A Hot Girl Walk, And Here’s Why You Should Too
As a dog owner, a morning walk is a regular part of my routine. I’ll set an alarm for 6 am, have coffee, and walk for an hour with Toby in tow. I often listen to a podcast, think about my day, and stress about things I can’t control (like turning 30 in a few weeks). Practicing the hot girl walk didn’t require me to change my day much; Even before I got a dog, I would choose to start my day with a long walk or run, both for the physical and mental health benefits. The hot girl walk just required me to reshape my mindset.
The goal of the hot girls walk is to feel confident, move, and celebrate your body.
As my mind started drifting back to my to-do list, I kept coming back to ten things I was thankful for. Some of these seemed silly — my coffee, sunny weather, and the fact that I get to try on running shoes for work — but others were bigger and more meaningful. I’m not one to journal or meditate, no matter how many times I try it lasts a week before I give up. That said, there are a number of benefits of practicing gratitude (opens in a new tab)including higher life satisfaction, greater happiness, and a more positive mood.
Spending a mile thinking of five things I would like to accomplish or achieve in my thirtieth year was also a great substitute for my normal daydreams. Once again, my mind seemed determined to wander (as does my dog, who has a habit of chasing pigeons), but I kept coming back to these dreams for the future as I walked.
Finally, like most Brits, taking the time to reflect on how good it was was a completely foreign concept, and I admit I found it difficult. Sure, I’ll try to be the person my dog thinks I am, but do I strut about how hot I am? Even writing that sentence is mortifying. However, the point of the walk is to feel confident, move, and celebrate your body. As I walked, I thought about how my legs had carried me through four marathons, how great my nails looked after a recent manicure, and how happy I felt with the sun on my face. I was once told by a therapist “if you wouldn’t tell a friend, don’t tell yourself”, and starting the day with some positive affirmations about myself really made me feel great.
There are a number of benefits of walking outdoors (This is what 30 minutes of walking a day can do for your body), but the true meaning of the hot girl walk is as much a mental exercise as it is a physical one. I was encouraged when I unbuckled Toby’s leash an hour later. I loved starting the day with such a positive mindset and instead of running to my desk feeling stressed, I poured myself another coffee and gave myself a mental pat on the back. No matter what your fitness goals are for 2022, the hot girl walk is the trend everyone needs to try. What are you waiting for?
