How to do the Full‑Body Hot Girl Walk
- Warm‑Up • 5 minutes: Brisk pace, tall posture, shoulders relaxed, core gently braced.
- Strength Intervals • every 3–5 minutes (2–4 rounds):
- 10 bodyweight squats
- 10 standing push‑ups (park‑bench or wall)
- 15–20 seconds arm circles or light shadow punches
- Form While Walking: Zip up the core, soften the ribs, swing arms with control, breathe through the nose when possible.
- Cool‑Down • 2–3 minutes: Ease the pace, inhale for 4, exhale for 6. Roll shoulders, unclench jaw.
- Close with Intention: Say 3 affirmations (see below) and log your minutes. Consistency over intensity.
