John Legend<\/a><\/strong> is getting his blood flowin’ and his body movin’ on this lovely Monday. Because nothing beats a fun workout!<\/p>\n

Forget about running or SoulCycle, the 40-year-old “Good Night” singer is taking swimming lessons from the 12-time Olympic medalist, Ryan Lochte<\/a><\/strong>. That’s right, the two are hanging out and getting ready for the “2020 Olympics.”<\/p>\n

“Swimming with Ryan Lochte in my backyard,” Legend captions his Instagram Stories, which features a short clip of him and Lochte taking a lap in his massive pool. “2020 Olympic Team.”<\/p>\n

“I made the team,” the Grammy winner jokes as he stands in the pool, hands in the air, in triumph over his finished lap.<\/p>\n

For the 34-year-old Olympic medalist, he admits hanging with the EGOT recipient is “not a bad way to start my week,” and we don’t blame him!<\/p>\n

“Swimming with @johnlegend,” Ryan posts on Instagram<\/a>. “Giving him some swim tips and getting him ready for 2020 Olympics haha!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In late January, John confessed he was taking swimming lessons with his kids, Luna Stephens <\/strong>and Miles Stephens<\/strong>, who started “months” before him<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I can’t really swim,” he revealed on Twitter<\/a>. “Today I took my first swim lesson since I was like 5. My dad learned in his 60’s so I feel like I’m ahead of schedule.”<\/p>\n

“You might be a competitive swimmer now,” he wrote on Instagram<\/a> last month, alongside a short video of him swimming from one end of the pool to the other.<\/p>\n

Now, it seems the 40-year-old “Preach” singer is ready to take on the Olympics with Lochte come 2020!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On that note, can we get an invite to the next pool session, John?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
