“Life is a series of lessons,” said Danica Patrick a few years ago, talking about the complications she faced with her health. After all, being a motorsport driver at the top level of stock racing means fitness is a big part of your life. Who better to share their fitness struggles with fans than Danica Patrick, a woman who has been a part of the sport for years?
Danica Patrick recently took to Instagram to share just how much change she’s seen her body go through in the last few years.

Danica Patrick ‘shows off’ her sporty look in recent workout video
Patrick is not just a driver. Ever since she entered motorsports, she became known for much more than her racing. Her time as a model garnered a lot of attention and it became nearly synonymous to her NASCAR career. As a result, one of the things Patrick realized she faced was the constant highs and lows of fitness.
Nothing exemplifies this better than a recent Instagram story Patrick posted. Showing data that went back to July 2022, Danica Patrick expressed a sense of pride in herself. All the work she put in with her fitness was paying off. She wrote, “If you would have told me that as little as 2 workouts per week of lifting would help me lose fat and gain muscle and give me the best body comp I have had at 42, I most definitely would have said you were full of shit. Haha! But between weights, lots of protein, consistency, hormonal balance, and a positive attitude…it had done just that. Last 5 months with plenty of different work, travel, food, and drinking and it is pretty consistent“
If you’re a motorsports presenter, chances are you live life on the move. That may be the case for Danica Patrick. Starting in 2024, she marked a return to the F1 paddock, traveling to every race in the final stint of the season. However, it leaves very little time for the driver to work on herself. Yet, she’s minimized the impact and kept going strong. But is there a deeper reason why this consistency mattered to the F1 presenter?

For Danica Patrick, health is a major priority. A decade ago, Patrick went through a breast implant surgery. Three years later, she faced distressing symptoms, ranging from hair loss and weight gain. As Danica Patrick went on to explain, “Everything seemed fine the first couple of years and then I would say that the issues …crept in at about mainly in three years later. Over those next four years, issues continued to compound. Mine were very physical manifestations.” Ever since then, Danica Patrick has worked incredibly hard to be healthy, even if she doesn’t participate in races anymore.
Danica Patrick’s journey highlights the power of discipline and resilience in overcoming health challenges and achieving personal goals. Her story serves as an inspiration to prioritize fitness and well-being as you grow older and health becomes a challenge. For now, Patrick has a different challenge in hand.

How was Patrick’s season as an F1 pundit?
Given her experience in motorsports, some expected Danica Patrick to have a seamless transition into the Sky Sports panel for the rest of 2024. However, that was certainly not the case. Fans were incensed at her arrival in the team, particularly since it meant former champion Damon Hill was on his way out of the team. It didn’t help when Danica Patrick had trouble taking fans through a lap of the Mexican GP track.
Patrick didn’t let this dampen her spirits. After the emotional finish for McLaren in Abu Dhabi, Patrick quickly congratulated another American racing figure, Zak Brown. She wrote in her Instagram post, “What an amazing weekend for the new constructors champ McLaren!!!! It was also a possible farewell to a few drivers and a big change for a couple others as they go to new teams. I think 2025 is going to be another very competitive and fun year! But let’s not think about that yet.”
It was certainly an eventful end for Patrick, especially after a return to F1’s Las Vegas GP by sky-diving. Now, she gears up for her next season in the sport, having confirmed her presence with the Sky Sports team for 2025.
