Becky Lynch, known as "The Man" in WWE, is not only a wrestling powerhouse but also an advocate for fitness and body confidence. Recently, Lynch took to the pickleball courts, showing off her love for the sport in a fun Instagram post. Beyond the ring, Becky stays active in various ways, from stationary biking to working out with fellow wrestlers like her husband, Seth Rollins. Since becoming a mother, she's embraced body positivity, appreciating what her body can do rather than how it looks. As Becky prepares to release her book, she opens up about the importance of honesty, both with herself and her fans. Discover how this wrestling icon maintains her fitness and mental well-being.
1. She Loves Pickleball
As you can see from the Instagram post, Lynch likes to play pickleball to stay in shape. Renown Health states that the sport has a lot of health benefits. “Pickleball is a great form of cardiovascular exercise that helps get your heart rate up. It can lead to better cholesterol and blood pressure levels, lowering your risk of heart disease. Since pickleball is a low-impact sport and easy on the body, it’s a great way to get movement in and maintain healthy bones, joints and muscles. By playing pickleball, you’ll reduce the rate of bone loss and help conserve bone tissue.”
2. She’s Comfortable With Her Body
After having her daughter, Lynch became more comfortable with her body. She talked about this in an interview with Muscle & Fitness. “I just feel like I appreciate my body more,” says Lynch. “I go, ‘Well, you know what? I’ve created a life … this is great … this is great.’ I don’t really care how it looks any more, you know what I mean? If that makes sense? I’ve always had body issues, and I was always self-conscious about, you know, whether it’s showing my stomach off… and now I’m just real proud of the function of it, of everything it can do. So, I don’t know if it’s a mental thing that just turns into a physical thing. If that makes any sense?”
3. She Works Out With Others
Lynch likes to workout with her fellow wrestlers. Specifically, her husband Seth Rollins and Cesaro. Lynch talked about this in an interview with Muscle & Fitness. “Myself, Seth, and Cesaro, we’re always competing against each other on DeadBoys Fitness. We’re so competitive. I think that pushes me because I always want to win. I usually do.”
4. She Uses A Stationary Bike
Lynch likes to use a stationary bike to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself on one. Lynch captioned the post, “Deadly workout.” Penn State PRO Wellness states that riding a stationary bike is a form of interval training, which means it is very beneficial. “Interval training allows you to alternate short bursts of intense exercise with longer intervals of less intense exercise. This type of training can help you burn more calories in less time, and also elevate your cardio fitness.”
5. She’s Honest
Lynch opened up about writing her book to USA Today. She says that she wanted to be as honest as possible in it. “I just tried to be honest with myself. You have to really reflect and go, ‘When were you lying to yourself?’ Because there's lots of times in life that we lie to ourselves but we don't realize until afterward."
