BeforeMia Lindcreated the hot girl walk, her daily 4-mile strolls were always more stressful than relaxing.
Lind shared her first hot girl walk on TikTok in 2020.
By 2021, her videos had racked up millions of views.
(The number isnow nearly a billion.)
The hot girl walk ismore than just a walk, Lind says of its success.
Its about how you live your entire life.
Im definitely someone who likes to sleep in as late as I can.
After that, Ill work for a while and then make the avocado toast that Ive perfected.
Its dill and chives in the avocado, theneggs cooked in chili oilon a sourdough baguette.
I live pretty close to grocery stores and farmers markets, so I stop in during my walks.
If the breads looking good, I know my avocado toast is going to be extra great that day.
I never got in on theStanley Cupthing, since theyre too heavy to carry on my walks.
Instead, I tend to drink before I leave and once I get back home.
Their drinks are always so crispy.
I thinkcross-trainingis really important, so Ive been religiously going toSoulCycle.
Its got a very similar vibe to the hot girl walk, where its all about your soul.
I also love that you could sit down if you get tired since the bike seat is right there.
Its either a hike in nature or well just go out around town and walk for 10 miles.
Its like urban hiking.
I think having ashoe thats comfortableand that actually fits properly is so important.
Wearing a nice, thick sock helps, too.
I actually created a walking playlist thats four hours long so you wont ever run out of music.
It’s calledHot Girl Walk on Spotify by Mia Lind.
Ive also been listening to Taylor Swifts entire collection.
My favorite Taylor song is The Man.
It just pumps me up.
I also love Beyonce, Megan Thee Stallion, and Olivia Rodrigo.
Her new album just came out, so Ive been blasting that one as well.
If Im having a really overwhelming day, I like to call my mom.
Im sometimes on the phone with her for up to six hours a day.
I also love cold-calling my boyfriend or my friends so they can help me put things into perspective.
I do this all the time when Im walking.
Ill send so many voice messages, and my girlfriends will do the same.
I also love a puzzle game.
Its all so relaxing.
I feel like its a good way to get your mind off things.
Ill make dinner, even though I havent perfected my dinner game just yet.
Then, one nonnegotiable for me is that I have to have dessert.
I eat chocolate every single day.
Right now Im obsessed withTru Fru.
Theyre frozen raspberries or strawberries covered in dark chocolate and milk chocolate.
I keep them in the freezer, and they always taste so fresh.
Ill crush a whole bag in two days.
Ive been hosting hot girl walks in Los Angeles on Thursdays.
