Petite 5 ft 2 in, Danica Patrick is an auto car racing star who also owns one of the fittest and sexiest figures among athletes. Apart from winning numerous car race competitions, the sultry athlete has also graced the cover page of myriad magazines in tiny bikinis. Here are some of the diet and exercise secrets of the athletic beauty which helped her in preparing for her first ever full NASCAR season.

Cardio Workouts

The IndyCar-turned-NASCAR driver had seldom participated in perpetual 600 miles race. To prepare herself for the long races, she required both speed and endurance. She ran daily for one hour to develop agility. From April to September, she religiously adheres to it. Besides rendering varied other benefits, cardio also promises good health of her heart.

Healthy Eating

Aside from the length of race, car racers are also supposed to cultivate endurance to cope with the heat of stock cars. Danica turned to healthy diet to toughen her body from inside. She reckons, no matter how many workouts you do, if you are not eating healthy and nutrient dense diet, you cannot expect to have slender and resilient body. She certainly gives far more importance to diet than exercises to uphold her lean and captivating status.
