Big Brother's Holly Allen in Two-Piece Workout Gear Paddleboards

Holly Allen first made waves when she competed as Miss Wyoming in the 2012 Miss USA pageant. She then competed in season 21 of Big Brother, finishing as the runner-up. Because of this, Allen has developed a large following on social media. She recently shared a photo on Instagram for her dog's birthday. In it, Allen and her pup were seen paddleboarding. She captioned the post, "Everybody wish my firstborn a happy 9th birthday. I love you more than humans, tiny dude."

In her Instagram post, Allen is seen going paddleboarding. Welia Health states that paddleboarding has a lot of benefits. "Balancing on a paddleboard is a little like treading a rope but much more fun. The water's constant motion challenges your balance and coordination, giving you killer core strength and better posture. Paddling works out your arms, shoulders, back, legs, and most importantly, your core. It's like a gym session without the sweaty gym smell. Say goodbye to weak muscles and hello to a strong, toned body."

As you can also see in her Instagram post, Allen has a dog. She also likes to foster dogs. Spending time with pups has a lot of health benefits. Harvard Health states, "Ongoing research is showing that the health benefits of owning a dog are undeniable. Dog owners have lower blood pressure and healthier cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of heart disease, than non-owners."

Allen likes to horseback ride to stay in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself riding in the mountains of Wyoming. Allen captioned the post, "Forecast at 11,000 ft: hold onto your hat (although I've always thought Dallas🐴 looked great with a blowout)." Allen also posted this video of herself riding and walking with her horse along with other riders. She captioned it, "Days with Dallas • pov: you come home from time to time and get to appreciate all the hard work you put into creating an amazing horse back when he was just a baby. We packed in to camp with 13 people and a heap of horses."

Allen spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go on hikes. Allen shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself and her friends hiking the Dolomites. She captioned the post, "Feeling physically and metaphorically on top of the world. The beauty Mother Nature comes up with never ceases to amaze me. Would ya LOOK at this?!?" Allen also included some hiking photos in this post of herself in the Alps, captioning them, "The trip has been humbling in quite the multitude of ways. These simply insane mountains."

Allen makes sure to eat healthy. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. "Pay attention to what you're putting in your body. Have you had nutrients today? Or just processed crap? Does your body now feel like crap? Funny how that happens. When I feel sluggish because I'm eating poorly, my mindset follows."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec
