Monarch Ladies, this one’s for you! You’re invited to any of our upcoming Hot Girl Walks (HGW) on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 4-5 p.m. HGW meets outside of the Student Recreation and Well-Being Center for a 1-2 mile route around campus. In case of rain or extreme cold, the group meets inside the SRWC and walks the indoor track.
Upcoming Walks:
- January 14
- January 28
- February 11 (Special Guest - the Campus Dietitian, Tracy!)
- February 25
- March 11
- March 25
- April 8
- April 22 (Earth Day! Campus Clean-Up Walk)
What are Hot Girl Walks? They’re more than a workout: they’re a chance to make connections, enjoy the fresh air, and get your steps in! Participants are encouraged to arrive solo and follow the 3 ground rules: 1) Introduce yourself to two new people at each walk, 2) Be warm and welcoming to the newbies! 3) Ladies only!
Why walk? Studies have found that walking 30 minutes a day, five times a week, can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by 47% due to the release of endorphins and the calming effect on the brain’s response to stress. While HGW is only twice a month, it’s a great way to establish an enjoyable walking habit and meet others who may want to join you for more walks in between scheduled walks! Did you know? Studies show that people who exercise with a friend or group are 65% more likely to maintain their exercise habit over time.
We have a Hot Girl Walks Discord channel to keep in touch, but you must attend at least one walk in person to be added!
