Allie Bennett, the famous TikToker with more than half a million followers, is a big fan of Taylor Swift. Bennett began this trend to improve her well-being in April 2022. Little she knew that millions would love it. In her videos, she does Treadmill Strut. She begins by walking at a comfortable pace, and as soon as the song changes, she increases her speed. Interestingly, the songs are also queued in a way that they grow in intensity with every next one, which further creates a tuning between the mind and body, and they work in harmony.

Also, as Bennett is a big Taylor Swift fan, she made a playlist comprising her songs. And as the people loved the playlist and made it viral, she continued to make a 30-minutes playlist and post it on Spotify. So this is how Taylor Swift inspired this trend.

While talking about herself and how she began the Treadmill Strut with the New York Post, Bennett said, “I have a past with disordered eating behaviors and because of growing up doing competitive dance. It was nice to just come up with a workout I could do that was focused on, ‘Let’s walk and have fun,’ instead of ‘Let’s count what we’re doing and keep track of how heavy we’re lifting and track the calories and everything.’” 

Moving on, let’s look at how effective this workout is.
