👑 Swagger doesn’t need permission

Plus: This breakfast burrito recipe is on repeat

What’s up, Hustlers! 

Walk through the door.

Doors swing both ways. If you make a decision and it doesn’t serve you, walk back out. Changing course isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. The real flex? Taking action in the first place.

You’re one decision away from your next chapter. So stop waiting for a sign. Take one step forward. Momentum builds when you move.

What door are you walking through today?

 .WHAT I’M CHEFFING. 

Tofu Scramble Breakfast Burritos đŸŒŻ Y’all, I had so much fun cheffing up these burritos from Tasty. They’re filling, protein-packed, and seriously delicious.

I get asked all the time how I prep tofu. My go-to is air-fried—crispy, golden, no fuss. But this scramble? Total game changer. I swear the tofu with the nooch and turmeric looked just like eggs. The best part about tofu is that it’s a flavor sponge. Whatever you throw on it, it absorbs. Let’s just say we got a little spicy with this one. 🌶️

Try it out, remix it your way, and let me know what you’re cheffing up.

 .WHAT I’M SHARING. 

Leg Day Tips 🏋️ Let’s be real—leg day isn’t just a workout, it’s an energy shift. When I train lower body, I’m building more than muscle. I’m building power, presence, and that walk-into-the-room-like-you-own-it kind of confidence. Here are five ways I make leg day hit harder:

1️⃣ Warm up like it matters. Because it does. Your body deserves a proper runway before takeoff. Dynamic stretches, band work, glute activations—non-negotiable.

2️⃣ Get the right shoes. What you wear on your feet can make or break your lift. When I’m under a barbell, I go flat for max grip and full connection to the ground.

3️⃣ Channel a first-set mentality. Treat your first set like it’s your only. That kind of intention builds real strength, and science backs it. Studies show that by maximizing intensity early—before fatigue hits—you not only increase strength but also boost total work capacity.

4️⃣ Curate your playlist like a pro. The right music sets the tone. Whether it’s hip-hop, Taylor, or a little Beyoncé, make sure your soundtrack keeps your swagger turned all the way up.

5️⃣ Show up with Swagger. How you feel impacts how you perform. I wore my limited-edition Cowboy Carter jersey the other day and swear it gave me superpowers.

How do you bring the heat on leg day?

Split+ Ride Tracker đŸ“đŸ”Ľ Who’s been taking my new Peloton Split+ Ride program? These 45-minute sessions combine strength work with focused conditioning to help you build muscle and boost your aerobic capacity.

Each class kicks off with 30 minutes of strength training—think classic 3x10 sets plus an accessory EMOM to really dial things in. Then we hit the bike for 15 minutes of high-intensity work. HIIT, Tabata, climbs.

Here’s the split:

  • Day 1: Upper Push + HIIT

  • Day 2: Lower Body + Climb

  • Day 3: Upper Pull + Tabata

Consistency is the name of the game, and tracking your progress is KEY. Repeat this split for 4–6 weeks to see real strength gains—and use the tracker below to stay accountable. Log your lifts, track your intensity, and watch yourself level up week to week.

Let me know how you’re feeling after class—and tag me when you hit those milestones. 💪

Question: How do you balance strength training with cardio when you really love to run? What weekly split do you recommend as I return to movement after another 26.2?

- Lyenna

Answer: Oh, I get it. I’m a runner at heart, too. But stepping into my strength era? Whew. Life changing. I’ve never felt more powerful—on the road and in my day-to-day. 💪 

To get started, aim for two strength days a week. Stack them after your speed workouts or on easy run days so your recovery stays on point. And if you’re in a heavy mileage week (think 20 milers), keep it simple—bodyweight only, no heavy lifts. Just enough to keep your muscles firing without overloading your system.
