Hot Girl Walk Recovery Routine

Hey Babes,

You’ve been walking, glowing, and getting your steps in like the queen you are—but let’s talk about what happens after the Hot Girl Walk.

If your feet feel fine while walking but start begging for a massage the second you sit down... you’re not alone. That’s your body saying:

“Thanks for the movement—now help me recover.”

Here’s your Hot Girl Walk Recovery Routine—my go-to after walking, standing all day, or just being that girl on the move:

💓 HOT GIRL WALK RECOVERY ROUTINE

Relieve tight feet, improve circulation, and reduce soreness in just 15–20 minutes.

Step 1: Calf Cupping (5–8 minutes)

Apply oil or lotion to your calves.

Place your cups (silicone cups) on the meaty part of the calf.

Leave them static for 1–3 minutes, or glide them slowly upward toward the knee.

Focus on the outer and inner calf—wherever you feel tightness.

Pro tip: Short on time? Even 2–3 minutes can work wonders.

Step 2: Foot Massage or Ball Rolling (3–5 minutes)

Use your thumbs or a ball to roll under your feet.

Focus on the arch, heel, and base of the toes.

Apply moderate pressure—just enough to get that “hurts so good” release.

Too tender? Switch to a softer ball (tennis ball) or use your hands.

Step 3: Infrared Light Therapy (10–15 minutes)

Place the light on your calves and/or the soles of your feet.

Relax while it works to boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and melt away tension.

Optional: Elevate your feet during this step to support lymphatic drainage.

Bonus: Calf + Toe Stretch (2–3 minutes)

Stretch your calves against a wall or step.

Then sit down and gently pull your toes back toward your shin.

It’s a quick way to open up tight fascia and release lingering tension.

✨ Pro tip: Pair this routine with elevated feet, your favorite chill playlist, and a big glass of water or lymphatic tea.

Because recovery is part of the glow-up too.

xoxo,
