The style called “Hot Girl Walk” is hot, and one piece of gear can bring even more heat.
Creator Mia Lind claims to be the creator of the Hot Girl Walk fitness trend, which sparked controversy after she tried to trademark the phrase and reportedly asked small businesses to stop using it, a move that eventually escalated into a legal battle.
Lind says he started creating the idea back in 2020 and posted it on TikTok in January 2021.
Since then, she has grown the idea into a brand and even published a self-help book titled “Hot Girl Walk: Find Happiness, Achieve Your Dreams, and Build Confidence.
Lind also leans into the “Hot Girl Walk” lifestyle side, including offering workout advice and gear recommendations.
One of the most popular accessories tied to the trend is the weighted vest, which offers an easy way to add some extra flair to a casual walk.
In one video, Lind said that using his vest made him “more out of breath than usual”. In the text of that post, he explained that this type of vest would be especially useful for people who go on Hot Girl Walks in the city, “because it adds energy on a flat street.”
On Amazon, weighted vests are already very popular, with models like the ZELUS Weighted Vest seeing over 20,000 units sold last month alone. And on Prime Day, this popular model is marked down to just $14, making it an easy, budget-friendly choice for hot girl hikers.
With Prime Day deals wrapping up today, June 26, there’s not much time to grab these deal steals — and jump on the viral (and healthy) trend yourself.
Thousands of reviewers say the Zelus Weighted Vest is comfortable, easy to use and flexible enough for workouts that go beyond the “Hot Girl Walk — including biking, hiking and even running.
“It’s been a year, and I still use this vest on all my ‘hot girl trips,'” one happy reviewer shared. “I love the extra weight it adds, and you just feel stronger afterwards. We highly recommend it if you want to push more in your workouts.”
One user highlights the vest’s safe and functional design, pointing to built-in storage for essentials such as a credit card, pepper spray, and keys.
With a variety of shiny styles and weight options available, it’s easy to upgrade — and at just $14, it’s a steal — for anyone looking to jump on the “Hot Girl Walk” trend.
