Courtney Stodden is taking a hike – in their two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the reality star flaunts their flat abs in a crop top and workout pants during an adventure to the Hollywood sign with their boyfriend. “7am 🕖 hike 🥾to the top of #hollywood 💋,” they wrote about the series of Instagram snaps. How do they approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about their lifestyle habits.
1. White Wine
Courtney drinks white wine. “My great grandma once told me that the secret to her long life was simple… “Vino, Honey” 🍇 #wine #sundayfunday,” they captioned a post. While red wine is slightly healthier than white, the lighter shade of vino generally has fewer calories than the darker shade.
2. Running
Courtney is a runner. “My little @wagsandwalks rescue Fendi really enjoyed our morning run 😍 🐶 #happy #staymotivated #rescuedog,” they wrote about one post. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
3. Meditation

Courtney gets their zen on. “Meditating in a beautiful cemetery… seriously find peace in graveyards,” she captioned a since-deleted post. "Sounds weird but hey… whatever works #meditation." “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:
- Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
- Building skills to manage your stress
- Increasing self-awareness
- Focusing on the present
- Reducing negative emotions
- Increasing imagination and creativity
- Increasing patience and tolerance
- Lowering resting heart rate
- Lowering resting blood pressure
- Improving sleep quality

Courtney is a yogi. “Around 11 AM, my yoga instructor comes over for a private session,” they told Vice. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

- Building stronger muscles and bones
