‘Color walking' is trending — here's everything you need to know
The walking trends are coming in thick and fast now that summer is approaching, and TikTok — as TikTok does — is sending each one stratospheric. If you haven't heard about it yet, put down your "hot girl walk," "silent walking," or the "Japanese walking method" for just a moment and join me in the latest TikTok fitness craze — "color walking." I use up way more of my journalistic time than I'd like slamming and damning the misleading (and sometimes downright nonsensical) wellness trends I see on TikTok. It can often feel like a relentless game of Whack-A-Mole — just when you think one has finally gone, another one springs up from nowhere. But color walking? I'm actually totally sold, to be honest. Here's what I learned from the TikTok color walking trend — and why you may benefit from trying it, too. The color walking technique is a great way to engage in National Walking Month, and because the benefits of walking are extensive, who wouldn't want to find more ways to make it more interesting, too? Dale Orton, head of photo culture and quality at nature-inspired photography company CEWE, who champions walking in nature, says: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Color walking is similar to many mindfulness practices and grounding techniques, such as deep breathing, naming categories and the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory experience, which aim to ease anxiety and help you feel more aware of your surroundings. These techniques help to anchor your thoughts and bring you back to the present moment.' He adds that you can experience the same effect with color walking — simply focus on a specific color while you walk to draw attention away from overthinking or distractions. 'It also trains your eyes to notice the small details, which heightens sensory awareness,' he says. 'Equally, we know that taking photos of nature can also help focus the mind, so combining your color walking and stopping to take photos can have double the benefit.' Orton suggests five tips if you plan to color walk. Here are a few things I noticed besides colors. Given that I was heading to my local park for this exercise, I decided not to go with green — my initial intention. Instead, I chose a color I'd have to look harder to find, which I thought could help improve my focus and prevent distractions. I landed on blue. Those walking near me probably wondered why I was standing in a field staring at the sky, but hey, we move. First, I watched how the clouds moved and interacted with the blue sky tucked away behind them; I felt…peaceful. Like the feeling after a big exhale when you've been holding your breath. I then walked around and looked for other blues that were less obvious — the color of a T-shirt (warning, don't stare at people for longer than is socially acceptable) or the orange and blue of a ball clutched between the spit-slick jaws of a panting puppy. It made me present in the moment and feel calmer in my mind. I get it, we don't all have time for long or leisurely walks whenever we feel like it, but you can benefit from even just 10 minutes of color walking. This wasn't a step tracking exercise, so I switched my phone to silent (a bit like when I tried silent walking), took out my earphones and removed my Apple Watch. Free from my self-imposed tech shackles, I explored and spent longer walking (and observing) than I would have done if I'd dutifully trotted out my regular walking route. Naturally, and without checking, I'm pretty sure I clocked up more steps. But that's not the point. Instead of going through the rhythms of my daily routine, I was actually noticing things for the first time, and I found it very soothing and enjoyable. If you're looking for a pair of the best running shoes you can wear for long walks, too, these sneakers are super cushioned and comfy. I regularly choose them for runs and walks! With my tech switched off, I could switch off. Anyone who knows me knows that I am chaotic by my very nature — a 5'2" hurricane of clumsy golden retriever energy and topic-hopping chat. I've also, and I know many people can relate, had a bit of a tough start to the year. During these mentally trickier months, my daily walks have been less about the physical benefits (hello rucking) and more about building mental stamina and finding some peace of mind. And so for once, I found myself genuinely relaxing and switching off my brain. Not for long — the worries and anxieties of the day ahead would still creep in, but just before I began floating off toward them, I'd then refocus my brain on the color blue and find myself re-anchored and tethered. I haven't found many of these mindfulness exercises work for me in life — if someone recommends 'traditional' meditation to me again, I won't be held responsible for my actions — but this one did. I enjoyed seeking out the color, observing how it interacted with its surroundings, then panning out to the object itself, how it moved, or how things moved around it. Simple, free to do and endlessly meditative. Tick, tick, tick. I honestly believe there are benefits for everyone with color walking, and it's a wellness trend I finally don't mind TikTok blowing up. If, for whatever reason, colors don't work for you, I recommend trying sounds instead. Try to choose one beforehand — like bird song — and listen for it wherever you go. If you fancy entering a trance-like state the next time you go walking, try a color walk. Trust me!

The end of Squid Game is near. After the second season debuted on Netflix in December, the show is back for its third and final run, with the trailer released at the streamer's Tudum event on Saturday. In the clip, protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is back in the games after the failed rebellion that ended season two, as the stakes are raised and the competition is deadlier than ever.

Jon Jones Offers Cryptic Update on Heavyweight Title Unification
Jon Jones Offers Cryptic Update on Heavyweight Title Unification originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The UFC heavyweight division has been frozen in place for months, with no clear path forward and no official word from Dana White. Fans and media alike have waited patiently as speculation swirled—would the UFC strip its reigning champion due to inactivity, or would a long-awaited unification bout finally be made official? This week, Jon Jones offered a glimpse behind the curtain that suggests movement is happening behind the scenes, even if it's only incremental. Advertisement A recent video posted by TikTok user fynnwg and later shared by Parry Punch on X (formerly Twitter) captured what appeared to be a candid Q&A session with the reigning champion. In the clip, Jones was directly asked about fighting interim champion Tom Aspinall. Rather than deflect, he delivered a response that hinted at progress: 'The UFC, I and Tom, we all got a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes... Right now, Tom and I have agreed to wait for the UFC to make their announcements. So I legally can't really talk about it.' The tone marks a clear shift from Jones' previous online comments, where he often seemed dismissive of an Aspinall matchup. Now, there appears to be genuine coordination between both fighters and the promotion on how to move forward. Jon JonesGetty Images While the champion's remarks may not confirm a date or venue, they do breathe life back into the title picture. Still, until Dana White and the UFC make it official, it remains just talk. But at least now, the wait feels slightly more hopeful and less uncertain than it did before.
