In a YouTube video posted by Lyles, titled “How to Get Faster During Off-Season,” Lyles shares with fans his daily routine. He started the video by saying a lot of people wondered how he worked out during the off-season. He continues saying, “Well, the simple answer is I don’t. There is no reason to work out because I’m on break. I’m not going to go through my off-season and try and work out”.

Casually strolling to his kitchen, Lyles spots a box of delectable doughnuts, which he eagerly opens with a smile. He continues, “But if I’m not letting my body recover, then what the heck was the point of the off-season? I need to sleep, I need to eat, and I need to enjoy life. Get a little fat. Put a little weight on it naturally. Go on vacation. Enjoy the year that I didn’t get to have by having fun”.

Lyles emphasizes that the competitive season is over, and he’s earned this break. With a light-hearted spirit, he advises anyone contemplating intensive off-season training, “Don’t”. He takes a seat on his couch, surrounded by cereal boxes and snacks, proclaiming, “It’s your time to relax. I can promise you, I’m going to be doing a whole lot of nothing.” The backing track of the light-hearted video was “Paint the Town Red by Doja Cat”. This video comes just days after Lyles went on vacation with his lady love, Junelle Bromfield.
