Becki Newton Tries Gymnastics & Kayaking
Becki Newton plays the role of the quirky and devious Amanda Tanen in the series Ugly Betty and she’s on the current cover of the November issue of SELF magazine. Apart from a fabulous photo shoot and interview she also did a SELF seven-day challenge called, Why Not. The challenge took her through different activities that she had never done before, two of which were gymnastics and kayaking.
She took a gymnastics class at the NYC Chelsea Piers sports complex and after swallowing her pride and falling down a few times she learned that it’s a great workout even if you do have to wear a leotard. She said,
“I left feeling strong and capable-as if I’d conquered not only the world but the leotard too. So much fun and an incredible workout. Weekly class, here I come!”
Later in the challenge she tried kayaking with the Manhattan Kayak Company even though she’s not a ‘water-sports person.’ Focusing on not tipping over she forgot about her ‘hate’ for water sports and instead got a good look at New York City from all angles and gained a fresh new perspective.
Be it a sport or hobby never be afraid to try something new, it will keep both your body and mind sharp and active.
