Michelle Dee showing off her physique she works so hard on regularly

Filipino star Michelle Dee is showing off the physique she works so hard to maintain. Dee, 27, shared a picture of herself posing in front of a mirror at a studio, wearing a silver metallic swimsuit.

Dee says basketball and volleyball are her first loves. "I played center for both of them —center blocker and spiker for volleyball," she says. "I grew up on a ranch, did a lot of ranch work, and I loved horses. That was my first taste of adrenaline, followed by the one I later got from sports. I tried out for the varsity team and I got in, becoming a member of the swimming, softball, basketball, and volleyball teams. I'm very competitive, but mostly with myself. I want to be my own best version."

Dee says she thrives on pressure when it comes to beauty pageants. "Obviously, the pressure has always been there, but like I said, I don't take it negatively," she says. "Because when I feel pressure, when people are expecting things from me, that's what really pushes me to do my best. I take whatever constructive criticism I can take in order to improve."

Dee says her go-to diet is low-carb and high protein. "Before a shoot, if it's on a short notice, I do a fast and eat only fruits," she says. "If there's enough time before a project, I follow the Paleo and Atkins diets. I try to do things the healthier way, because I still love steak. I love cooking chicken, pasta, and pizza, and I get good comments about my red velvet cakes and cupcakes."

Aside from strength and cardio workouts, Dee enjoys more gentle exercises. Yoga and cycling are two of her favorites. "Yoga can help you to cope with stress and improve wellbeing as well as helping develop flexibility, strength, balance and coordination," says Marie Toms, Assistant Practitioner Physiotherapist at Papworth Cardiothoracic Hospital in Cambridgeshire, UK.

Dee says when it comes to her beauty routine, simplicity is key. "Less is more," she says. "Beauty isn't measured by how thick your makeup is, but by how much confidence you have in yourself to carry what you have on… I always make sure that from time to time, I have a day where I give my skin air to breathe. It's one of the things I feel is very important, and enjoyable."
