She Uses A Stair Master
As you can see from her Instagram story, Cooper uses a stair climber to workout. This can be very beneficial. ACE Fitness states that stair climbing is a good cardio workout. "You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that's provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier."
She Runs
Cooper likes to run to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself running and using a fitness tracker. She captioned it, "COME RUN 6 MILES WITH ME✨🏃🏽♀️🤍As I get ready for @missusa my runs serve as moments of reflection to look at my journey to this dream🥹🏃🏽♀️I'm blessed to use my platform to share how individuals can #DemandExcellence in their own lives and (literally) #Run towards their wildest dreams🏃🏽♀️💗"
She Raises Awareness
Cooper uses her platform to raise awareness for different causes. One cause she is passionate about is getting children with cleft palates the treatment they need. Cooper shared this video on Instagram advertising SmileTrain. She captioned it, "In honor of Cleft Awareness Month, I am joining @smiletrain to spread awareness of their life-changing work for children needing cleft treatment! Today, we will share 5 facts you may not know about clefts and Smile Train's impact! Together, we can change the world one smile at a time!"
She Studies Nutrition
Cooper is passionate about nutrition and ending food insecurity. She revealed to People that she wanted to study these topics because of her mother's struggles with food insecurity. "I know she is not alone in that in this country, one in five children is food insecure. And I want to make a difference. That's what truly has propelled me to work in the field of food insecurity, health, and nutrition."
She's Grateful
After winning Miss USA, Cooper shared this post on Instagram expressing her gratitude. She captioned it, "I may never have the words to express the sincerest gratitude I have for being chosen as the 73rd MISS USA. Great leaders view their role as an act of service, not a place of authority and attention. I dedicate this year to serving the United States of America and the #Universe, being a leader of character. I give all the glory to God❤️"
