Race car driver Danica Patrick goes through life at 200 miles per hour—even off the track. She relies on win-win life strategies to keep her grounded. Check out the tips she offers to Shape readers in the June issue. In addition, she also shares her turbocharged workout that gets her sexy and sculpted for bikini season.
At 5’2” and 105 pounds, Danica is the smallest of the Indy drivers. In a sport where the lighter your load, the faster your speed, you’d think she’d have an advantage. Not so, says Danica. “I have to work harder than those bigger guys to control my car.” To maintain her strength-—not to mention her endurance for those five-hour races—Danica works out almost every day. She keeps her routine fresh by changing it up twice a year. During race season, which goes from April to September, she runs for an hour every day, then concentrates on upper body exercises that strengthen her shoulders, forearms, and back—moves essential for handling her 1,500-pound vehicle. To stay strong but sculpted during the off-season, she works with a trainer. Just as important as exercise, though, is taking a break. “I skip days here and there and don’t beat myself up for it,” she says. “My husband always reminds me to let my body rest.”
When you have to pose in a swimsuit, every part of your body needs to look fabulous, and after 90 days training with Body by Jake, Danica looked totally hot from head to toe. In fact, Danica’s stunning appearance won so much attention that she was featured in the June issue of SHAPE magazine, showing off her slim, sexy physique and body sculpting workout.
Use these exercises to put the finishing touches on your beach body or tackle stubborn flab. You’ll be amazed at the results!
Danica got in tip-top shape in record time by eating healthy foods prepared right. Body by Jake coached Danica on eating a diet of all-natural whole foods, including lots of dark, leafy greens and vibrant fruits such as blueberries and raspberries.
