While everyone is focused on the hot girl walk, Dua Lipa is taking things up a notch with a hot girl hike. Lipa just revealed her “perfect day,” and it includes getting outside in nature, an oceanside sunset, a French film from the 90s, and seafood.
It's pretty obvious that a nice hike is a lower-body workout, but walking on uneven terrain works your core muscles too as you stabilize your body and work to stay upright. It's also a solid way to cross train and build endurance, Shape previously reported.
Lastly, research suggests hiking is good for your mental health. A 2015 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that walking for 90 minutes in nature (versus walking for the same amount of time in an urban area) decreased self-reported rumination (repetitive negative thinking) in participants. This is noteworthy because scientists have documented a link between rumination and risk for depression, allowing the study authors to conclude hiking in nature may have a positive effect on people’s mental health.
If you were looking for an excuse to take your regular hot girl walk to the next level in the great outdoors, consider this it.
