The so-called “Hot Girl Walk” trend is under fire, and one piece of gear could bring an even bigger burn.
Creator Mia Lind claims she invented the viral Hot Girl Walk fitness trend, sparking controversy after she attempted to trademark the phrase and reportedly asked small businesses to stop using it, a move that eventually escalated into a full-blown legal battle.
Lind says she first created the concept back in 2020 and posted about it on TikTok in January 2021.
Since then, she’s expanded the idea into a brand and even published a self-help book titled “Hot Girl Walk: Find Happiness, Achieve Your Dreams, and Cultivate Confidence.“
Lind has also leaned into the lifestyle side of “Hot Girl Walk” culture, including giving workout advice and gear recommendations.
One of the most popular accessories tied to the trend is a weighted vest, which offers an easy way to add an extra burn to an otherwise ordinary stroll.
In one video, Lind said using her vest had her “a little bit more out of breath than normal”. In the caption of that post, she explained that this kind of vest may be particularly useful for people who go on their Hot Girl Walks in a city, “because it adds intensity to an otherwise flat road.”
On Amazon, weighted vests are already widely popular, with models like the ZELUS weighted vest seeing more than 20,000 units sold in the last month alone. And for Prime Day, this popular model has been discounted to just $14, making it an easy, budget-friendly choice for the hot-girl walkers.
With Prime Day deals wrapping up today, June 26, there’s not much time to grab this steal of a deal — and jump on the viral (and healthy) trend yourself.
Thousands of reviewers say the Zelus Weighted Vest is comfortable, easy to use and versatile enough for workouts beyond “Hot Girl Walk — including biking, hiking and even running.
“It’s been over a year, and I still use this vest for all my ‘hot girl walks,’” one pleased reviewer shared. “I love the extra weight it adds, and you just feel stronger afterwards. Highly recommend if you are looking for an extra push in your workout.”
Another user highlights the vest’s safe and practical design, pointing to built-in storage for essentials like a credit card, pepper spray, and keys.
With a range of sleek styles and weight options available, it’s an easy upgrade — and at just $14, practically a steal — for anyone looking to jump on the “Hot Girl Walk” trend.
