To be fair, strutting in a cutesy set with a niche catwalk playlist? Count us in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#39;re new to the trend, we got you.

Not everyone is looking for the same intensity or working towards the same goals (aka, if you&#39;re not up for a two-hour walk and would rather go on a&nbsp;daily coffee commute, the more power to you, GF).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But&nbsp;it did start as a pandemic hobby and a way to exercise mindfully. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/hot-girl-walk-viral-fitness-trend-explained-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Originally, this meant a four-mile walk<\/a> while focusing on gratitude and goals. Since then, the hot girl walk has been adapted over and over again to fit whatever suits the individual&mdash;the main purpose is really to just build confidence!<\/p>\n<p>Long story short? It gives you a *ton* of creative freedom with&nbsp;how you want to fit this into your workout routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#ff3399;\">How is it good for you?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even for just 30 minutes a day, walking can give you *so* many health benefits like healthier joints and an overall boosted mood. It&#39;s an accessible form of exercise that people of all fitness levels can include in their workouts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Walking daily increases your metabolism which helps you burn more calories in a low-impact way (to think, you don&#39;t even have to leave the house to go on a treadmill walk). It also lowers blood pressure, risk of chronic diseases and improves sleep quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#ff3399;\">How to start<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scrolling past hot girl walk TikToks can be a little confusing&mdash;so, you just start walking? Going on a simple walk in the neighborhood is always a good start, but if you want to level it up, here are some super fun structured walks you can try out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 12-3-30:<\/strong> For all you gym and rainy weather girlies, this is the perf walk for you. Get on a treadmill, set it to an incline of 12 and walk at a 3.0 pace for 30 minutes. Walking uphill is a great way to increase the intensity of the workout, and it&#39;s super adaptable to what you&#39;re comfortable with. For beginners, we recommend starting with an 8-10 incline and work your way up to 12!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The OG 4-mile:<\/strong>&nbsp;This one is more focused on mental well-being (we love to see it). Whether it&#39;s a trail near your house or on a treadmill, walk at a comfortable (but still challenging)&nbsp;pace for four&nbsp;miles and think about what you&#39;re grateful for and how you can achieve your goals. With the right playlist, this is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.girlslife.com\/health\/wellness\/39826\/5-simple-steps-to-a-stressfree-spring\" target=\"_blank\">the *perf* way to move and destress.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#ff3399;\">Make it fun!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know that doing the same workout routine can get a liiittle boring at times. But, a hot girl walk is something you should look forward to! Think of it as a strut down the catwalk with some *amaze* music playing. Main character energy? Always.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that you&#39;re walking at at least a 3-4 mile pace by creating an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.girlslife.com\/health\/workouts\/39973\/the-ultimate-pumpup-playlist-for-your-next-walk\" target=\"_blank\">upbeat playlist<\/a> you can easily sync to. Alternatively, it&#39;s also a great way to multi-task by listening to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.girlslife.com\/life\/get-inspired\/41854\/listen-to-these-big-sister-podcasts-to-feel-like-your-best-self\" target=\"_blank\">fave podcast <\/a>or catching up on that class lecture you missed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And ofc, we can never forget about the outfit. Is it just us, or do we always feel more motivated to work out when we have a good set on? Whether it&#39;s your fave sports bra and biker shorts or leggings, put on whatever makes you feel the best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><big><strong><span style=\"color:#ff3399;\">Looking for more healthy habits?
