The word ‘trailblazer’ does not do enough justice to Danica Patrick. From racing to fitness, the former race driver seems to excel at all. Everyone knows about her achievements in American racing already. She is still the only female winner of an IndyCar Series race with her victory at the 2008 Indy Japan 300. But she is equally adept even outside the track!

The 41-year-old officially retired in 2018 but continues to be a popular icon. She was in the news of late for seemingly relying on her zodiac sign to justify her behavior.

Dr. DiNicolantonio did not forget about hitting the gym either. He reminded people to “lift weights 3-5x/week”. The author cum doctor concluded the tweet by saying, “It’s not rocket science.” So, no pressure at all, folks!

Danica Patrick is not someone who hides her health secrets, as evident from above. In fact, she has a dedicated stories tab on her Instagram account titled “Fitness”. She often shares clips of her routine in the gym here. Even the diet aspect is there for everyone to see in the “Food” stories section.

These are ample reasons for Danica Patrick being highly regarded in all matters of fitness. Some would even argue that having a history of modeling does not hurt either. After all, she has graced the covers of iconic sports magazines, which include Sports Illustrated and ESPN: The Magazine, among others. Being visible has hence never been a problem for the Wisconsin-born woman.

With so many feathers to her hat, it only remains to be seen what other avenues she explores in the future!

As a NASCAR Editor and Author at EssentiallySports, I have the two-fold opportunity to channel my passion for motorsports and sports journalism. I have previously worked as a reporter and a digital content creator and then in the sports opinion trading industry. To me, NASCAR’s biggest selling point is its sheer variety of tracks. From classic ovals to winding road courses and even a city street track, there is something for every aficionado. I am also intrigued by the uniqueness of the playoff format that can make (or break!) any driver’s season on a given day. Outside NASCAR, my all-time racing idol is Kimi Raikkonen and I staunchly root for the factory Ducati MotoGP outfit. My career objective is to one day report live from the paddock at Le Mans. I firmly believe in sports being a microcosmic reflection of society, and I see the playing field as a space to set positive examples. I take a pitstop from sports by reading Batman graphic novels and watching mystery thrillers.
