]]> Yes, warmer weather is on its way, but that has nothing to do with the Hot Girl Walk. So before you start imagining yourself dripping with sweat due to your body overheating, allow us to explain. 

During November 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us found ourselves stressed and anxious. Mia Lind was one of them.

The then-college student needed a way to calm her mind amid the chaos and so she began walking. Although it may be something we do unconsciously all day, walking can be a fantastic way to relieve stress and center yourself. 

While on her daily walk, Lind began to take stock of her life and check in with herself.

She began posting videos of herself walking on social media alongside the hashtag #hotgirlwalk, and so the Hot Girl Walk movement was born. 

“Our generation sees walking, or at least did… as not really a valid form of exercise,” the 24-year-old explains. “For some people starting out, [those] can be really scary, and walking is a very accessible form of exercise. You can be at any fitness level to begin [and] it’s completely free.”

So, what makes this kind of walk different to any others?

Well, during your 4 mile stroll, your mind should be focused on 3 things: 

The things that you are grateful for. What your goals are. And last but not least, how hot you are, because hotness is a mindset. 

“It’s really all about building confidence and taking time for yourself,” Lind says.

]]> Reaching 10,000 steps per day is an easy fitness goal that we should all strive towards, but things can get difficult during the cold winter months. If you’ve noticed your step count tends to drastically decrease once fall and winter arrive, this brief guide will help you get back on track.

Indoor Walking

Walking indoors may seem like a silly way to keep up your step count, but it’s often the only way. If it’s snowing or raining outside, walking indoors is your best chance to hit 10,000 steps. Your house is most likely too small to easily reach this number, but you can always head to one of the big malls in your city.

Treadmill Walking

Most people use treadmills for running, but that’s not the only way to train on this machine. If you don’t feel like walking around your house or a mall, head to a local gym and give treadmill walking a shot because you’ll hit your daily step count in no time.

Better Days

Walking outdoors is more difficult once cold and gloomy days arrive, but it’s not impossible. Carefully monitor the weather forecast because some days are better than others and make sure to head outdoors whenever there’s no rain or snow on the horizon.
