Hot Girl Walk Explained

Hot Girl Walk is a social media trend popularised on TikTok by influencer Mia Lind in 2021. It consists of a four-mile outdoor walk where participants think affirmations. The name was inspired by Hot Girl Summer, a 2019 rap song by Megan Thee Stallion.

History

The term was first used in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic by Mia Lind, at that time a senior of the University of Southern California. She began taking walks as a means of relieving stress[1] [2] and promoted the concept on TikTok under her account "exactlyliketheothergirls" in January 2021.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

The term was later trademarked by Lind,[11] who subsequently founded a wellness company with the same name.[12]
