When you aren’t sure what to do with your day, going for a walk is always a good bet. We're told to aim for 10,000 steps or enticed by social media created workout routines like 12-3-30, but what if I told you the new 'in' trend is to take a 14 mile walk!
Yes, you read that right! On TikTok, some people are taking their strolls a step further (quite literally) by going on long-distance walks of about 10 miles or more. It’s kind of like a hot girl walk to the extreme.
One viral video, posted on Jan. 21, came from creator @Servedbysara, who shared her lengthy 14-mile walk, which concluded with her getting boba with friends. In another TikTok, she went on a 16-mile trek to a lake, and in another, she went on a 10-mile walk to get a cup of coffee.
These walks are often unplanned, and chaotic things happen along the way, like almost missing a ferry or getting caught in the rain. For anyone who has trouble getting 10,000 steps a day, these long-distance walks might seem unfathomable at first glance, but they aren’t impossible, and they also aren’t meant to be excruciating or intense. This workout is meant to be at your individual pace.
While every creator has their own motivating factor in mind as they set out for a lengthy walk, the general consensus seems to be that it’s a fun challenge and an adventurous way to exercise.
