Hot Girl Walk
Hot Girl Walk is a social media trend, and popularised on TikTok. It consists of a 4 miles (6.4 km) outdoor walk where participants think affirmations.
History
The term was thought to be first used in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic by Mia Lind, who was at that time a senior of the University of Southern California.[1] The name was heavily inspired by Hot Girl Summer, a 2019 rap song by Megan Thee Stallion.[2] Lind began taking walks as a means of relieving stress[1] and promoted the concept on TikTok under her account "exactlyliketheothergirls" in January 2021.[3][4][5][2][6][7][8][9]
The term was trademarked by Lind in 2023 for athletic apparel and physical fitness training,[10] and she subsequently founded a wellness company with the same name.[11]
The trend inspired backlash, as reported by the Australian edition of Elle.[12]
