Crit Belly

THE CRIT BELLY . This happens when we do too many criterium races.
I suppose it can be likened to the 'weekend warrior' physique. Too many short duration fast paced rides, resting during the week and quick hard races on the weekend coupled with NO core work and lots of carbs has added a bit of pudge to the midriff.
Remedy? Spice it up with a stage race or a road race or get out and do some miles. Longer, slower tempo-type rides and stop eating so many Luna Bars. :)
But a really good way to instantly lose 5 pounds....disguise the problem with a good application of self tanner! :) haha.
