TikTok's #stupidwalkchallenge has over 74 million views – and for good reason
December 07, 2022 - 12:35 GMT Melanie Macleod TikTok is always awash with walking trends, from summer 2022's Hot Girl Walk to the ever-popular 12-3-30 treadmill workout. The latest walking trend to take the platform by storm is the #stupidwalkchallenge.
"Our physical health and mental health are closely linked and physical activity such as walking can be very beneficial for our mental health and wellbeing," says Stephen Buckley, head of information at Mind. He's right - group nature walks have even been linked to significantly lower levels of depression and enhanced wellbeing, according to a study by Michigan University.
"But if I go for a walk, I typically also make time to have a healthy breakfast, a nice shower and then I open my laptop feeling positive and more energised about the day ahead."Freelance PR Erica Vonderwall feels the same. She walks around seven miles with her dog every day, come rain or shine."I'm not saying I love a rainy dog walk, but it's a great way to start the day, clear the cobwebs, and awaken the soul," she says.
"I'm 42 and have diagnoses of Bipolar disorder and BPD," Michelle says."I'm in recovery from alcohol dependency and am awaiting an ADHD referral. Walking hasn't made my challenges disappear but it does make things easier to manage.
