Roser opened up about her fitness routine to Women’s Health. She says that she has to be careful about what workouts she does, since she has scoliosis. Roser says that she does workouts that are easy on her back. “When I was 14 I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which is a spinal disorder, so that’s why I’ve always struggled with posture, back and muscle pain. My workouts are very specific and arranged around treatment of that. If I have a week or two off, I have to gradually build my body back up to the level that I’m able to work out at, because otherwise it can cause me a fair bit of grief … muscular pain. Ab stuff is really good for me. I do a lot of cardio because that’s low-weight-bearing on my back. Heavy weightlifting is something I have to build up to, and I have to be in a strict routine to be able to achieve the kind of goals I’d like to with that. So all my weight is either bodyweight or lightweight with high reps. Anything that’s too heavy in the front puts pressure on the back. Barre work really hurts my back, too. But I enjoy yoga and I’m a huge fan of pilates.”
Roser tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t let other people’s opinions of her run her life. Especially when it comes to her fitness. “When I first started training, I put on muscle really easily, and I had a lot of feedback from agents – this was years ago – saying, ‘You’re looking a bit strong for the fashion world.’ I started to change my training, but I was changing it for them. Now that I’m a bit older and I’ve really learnt about how my body works and when I feel the best, I’ve learnt to train just for myself. That’s my philosophy.”
Being a model, Roser has had to deal with a lot of comments about her body. She admits to Women’s Health that it has gotten to her in the past. However, Roser says that she is a lot more comfortable now. “My body confidence is good now, but there have always been doubts,” she says. “If you don’t get a job, you think, ‘Is it because my measurements are bigger than the girl who did?’ Little things play on your mind. But I learnt pretty quickly that it’s not necessarily me; it’s about what the client is looking for to represent their brand. Once I realised that perhaps I just didn’t fit the bikinis or clothes the way they wanted, I relaxed and started to take care of myself for me.”
One thing Roser likes to do to stay in shape is go swimming. She posts a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Roser posted these two photos and one video of herself wading and floating in the water. She captioned it, “I was made for the island life.” Roser also posted these beach photos, captioning the post, “No better feeling.”
Roser makes sure to eat healthy. One thing she likes to eat are salads. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a salad at a restaurant. Roser captioned it, “Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.” Eating salads is a great way of incorporating more vegetables in your diet. They can also contain sources of protein, like nuts or meat, and fruit.
