Internationally acclaimed racing cyclist Coryn Rivera is not one to rest on her laurels. Despite achieving hard-earned championships around the world, she has won 72 national titles as of June 2018, she continues to look for ways to be her best in every race.
Rivera, the first Filipino-American to win the Tour of Flanders, took a DNA profile test to find out how she can improve her fitness and overall wellbeing.
Through Pru Life UK’s myDNA Pro, the 26-year-old cyclist found out her injury risk, hence she has made improvements on her routine especially when it comes to her warm up and cool down hydration, and time for rest to avoid possible damages to her body.
“As a professional cyclist, it’s my number one job to know my body,” says Rivera.
