Danica Patrick is going into the weekend feeling fresh and motivated. The former NASCAR Cup Series driver, who has been retired from auto racing since 2018, continues to focus on her fitness journey. Over the past few months, she has taken golf and tennis lessons, making strides to improve her game. Leading up to the Masters, Patrick played a round of golf at Scottsdale National with instructor Brian Daley, further showcasing her dedication to enhancing her golf skills.
Patrick’s commitment to becoming a better golfer began in 2023. With summer approaching, she is determined to fine-tune her abilities on the green. “I decided to actually learn how to play golf about 2 years ago. Of course, it’s a little seasonal, mostly for heat in AZ but also work and skiing,” Patrick expressed. She reflected on her progress, noting, “I thought I finally had it figured out last fall. Then I forgot how to hit my driver to start the year off…. Until about 10 days ago. I remembered just as mysteriously as I forgot. Golf is a funny game…. And mostly played by those who just love to be hard on themselves. A game you will never master and repeatedly wonder – why am I doing this to myself?”
Despite the challenges, Patrick is optimistic that she will drive the ball better this year. Her journey in fitness and golf is not only about improvement but also about enjoying the process.
On Friday afternoon, Patrick shared a few videos of her working out at the gym on her Instagram Story, which drew plenty of attention. Wearing an eye-popping pink outfit, she certainly turned heads. While her workout routine looked impressive, it was her stylish attire that became a topic of conversation among her followers.
Patrick is a strong advocate for having a well-rounded workout routine. She emphasizes the importance of “high-intensity interval training” that combines aerobic exercise with calisthenics, such as push-ups and burpees, alongside weight training. “I learned you can change the size of your body with cardio, but you’ll never change the shape of your body without adding weights to your exercise routine,” she explained. Her insights into fitness show that she values not only physical appearance but overall health.
Looking ahead, Danica Patrick’s journey in honing her fitness and golf skills signifies a powerful blend of persistence and passion. She appears ready to tackle new challenges, both on the golf course and in the gym, inspiring her fans along the way. As she continues to share her progress, it’s clear that Patrick will remain a force to be reckoned with, encouraging others to pursue their fitness goals while cultivating a love for sports.
