carnivore diet<\/a>,\u201d explains the celebrated wrestler. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve been upping my weightlifting, a lot.\u201d<\/p>\nIndeed, in 2026, Nia Jax is in her best fighting shape ever. But her positive fitness decision have only been made possible because of a shift in mindset,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful thing, because I feel like before, my mind wasn\u2019t right, and (now it\u2019s about) having good people around me, to get my mind right, in order for my body to listen. And now, it\u2019s just been flowing,\u201d<\/p>\n
Lash Legend\u2019s Goes From NCAA Record Holder to WWE Champion<\/h2>\n
Jax\u2019s tag partner, Lash Legend (real name: Anriel Howard) is a decorated college basketballer who was the first player in Texas A&M history to make over 1,000 career rebounds with the team, achieving 1,002 rebounds to be exact. She also set an NCAA tournament record with 27 rebounds in a 2016 NCAA tournament game.\u00a0 Both of these Irresistible Forces make an imposing presence at 6-feet tall, so Legend is certainly not a weak-link in this team. \u201cOf course I want the young, strong, record-holding athlete to be on by side,\u201d jokes Jax.<\/p>\n
While Lash legend lacks the pro wrestling experience of her iconic tag-team partner, she has been able to motivate Nia Jax thanks to her status as an elite athlete. \u201cI\u2019ve been so happy in this teaming, that I feel life has been a lot easier, and I can have that time to focus on my fitness,\u201d Jax tells M&F. And, the respect is clearly mutual within this dominant tag-team, who won the titles on the February 27 edition of SmackDown by defeating Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. \u201cI feel like Nia is so grounded. When you have that good, solid foundation, that helps in all aspects of your life,\u201d affirms Legend. \u201cI think we help each other, I mean she\u2019s really helping me,\u201d adds the exciting newcomer, who is no doubt picking up the benefit of Nia Jax\u2019s experiences in the WWE ring. For her part, Jax says that hew new partner is a source of inspiration. \u201cShe\u2019s motivating me,\u201d she tells M&F Hers, while touting Legend\u2019s prowess. \u201cShe keeps me young.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why Mindset Is the Real Key to Fat Loss and Muscle Retention<\/h2>\n
Pressing the Irresistible Forces for a fitness trip that we should all put a headlock on, Nia Jax goes first. \u201cI truly believe that everything comes back to how you are upstairs,\u201d offers the WWE Superstar. \u201cIf you\u2019re not good mentally, it really translates to your body, because your body listens to what you think and what you say about yourself. That\u2019s my advice, is to get your mind right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Keeping it real, Lash Legend says that she likes to look to the Earth, rather than artificial foods or gimmicks, for sustainable gains. \u201cI think we are both advocates of that,\u201d says the fit female. \u201cEverything that we need to stay in shape is already here.\u201d<\/p>\n
