Dutch Model Romee Strijd in Workout Gear Gets a Facial Massage

Romee Strijd is getting a facial massage in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Dutch model shows off her flat abs in a green crop top while getting her face rubbed by a professional. She shared the image via her Instagram Stories. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Romee maintains a healthy diet, staying away from red meat. "It's been something I've been trying to do—I think it has certain health benefits for me," she told Elle Australia. What does she eat in a day? "I love oatmeal in the morning; you can find the recipe on my YouTube channel. For lunch, she will eat a bowl of grains, salad, and vegetables, and for dinner, she enjoys eating out at a nice restaurant with her boyfriend or friends. "There are so many restaurants to go to on a cheat day. I love bread, with dips, sushi, burgers, pasta…" she said. "But my real cheat meal is dessert. I have a sweet tooth so this is the area where I like to cheat. Ice cream, with chocolate, caramel, etc… That's what gets me excited!"

Romee recommends food prep. "I think the most important thing for women on-the-go is to be prepared," she told Glamour. "I really like to prepare my day the night before if I know the next day is going to be hectic. Brussels sprouts and butternut roasted in the oven, paired with chicken and hummus is my favorite! I'll also make sure to bring healthy snacks or make a lunch/dinner box if I am getting on a plane. (I'm not a huge fan of airline food.)"

"My boyfriend and I workout together. We never really do the same training, but we go to the gym together and then we say, 'Okay, one hour from now we're leaving.' So, it helps. We get competitive. We always do a planking challenge. I think it's really motivating [to work out with your partner], because whenever I don't feel like it, he's like, 'Oh, come on. Let's do it! Let's get it over with!'" she told Harper's Bazaar Singapore. "[The Angels and I] always try to work out together and then plan a nice brunch or lunch after. It's really motivating. Jasmine [Tookes] is the most hardcore. She's strong. She can do a lot of weights!"

Romee tries to get a workout in, even when she has little to no time. "I'm not always motivated, but you just have to go do it because afterwards you feel so great and you enjoy the day more because you've done it. So, just start somewhere. Just do something. Say to yourself that you only have 15 minutes or something and then it comes from there," she told Harper's Bazaar. df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Romee does a lot of work to keep her abs flat. "For abs, I like a little circuit on the mat. With every [exercise], you should always be using your abs—even when you do squats. Try to feel them [with every movement]. I've been doing everything myself with ankle weights and resistance bands, and I bring my jump rope when I travel. You can even do it in a hotel room if you have a mat," she told Harper's Bazaar.
