💥Cover! My book is available for preorder. I have worked my ass off on it. There is 3 parts mental/physical (with 12 week workout program that I wrote and tested)/food (along with 50 recipes written and photographed by me). The more I think about it the more I think that this is just the first phase of what I hope to continue for many books to come. It's all the things I have learned though growth in the mind and body. 🙌🏼

NASCAR drivers aren’t exactly known for being models of physical fitness (sorry, Tony Stewart), but Danica Patrick is busting the mold with her toned arms and chiseled core on the cover of her forthcoming fitness book.

Titled Pretty Intense, the pages detail a three-part plan divided into mental, physical, and food components that Patrick uses to keep in seriously outstanding shape.

…….because minimal retouching has been important to me with ALL the pictures, from lifestyle to fitness to food for @prettyintensebydanica …… I wanted to show you the raw image from when I was deciding which one to use for the cover. Many of you thought it was highly retouched and the main thing they do is even out the skin tone, mostly on the legs. I worked very hard. Anyone can be lean and muscular if they want to…..but you have to put in the work and learn how to eat right. It's all possible, believe in yourself.

In addition her book, which is due out sometime next year, Patrick also has an exclusive activewear collection available through the Home Shopping Network.

On top of all that, she also competes full-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. At the Dover International Speedway last weekend, she broke a 76-race streak without a top-10 finish by miraculously weaving her way through this gnarly multiple-car crash in overtime to finish 10th place.

Patrick has mentioned on Instagram that she’s shot five thousand photos for Pretty Intense, and if they’re anything like these sexy shots, we’re sold.

Another amazing day shooting for @prettyintensebydanica. Going to be hard to select from 5 thousand photos, but fun and we probably got a few good ones! 😆💪🏼👙💄📸

With the @prettyintensebydanica trial group finishing up the final 12th week of workouts, its got me thinking back to the PI shoot in January……can't wait to sift through the 5 thousand plus shots and pick my favorites to go in the final product that comes out January of next year! The results people are having literally bring tears to my eyes. Even my sister said today, “Dude…..week 11 upper body 😭😩”. I told her – it's pretty intense. 😆

Until we can get our hand on a copy, we’ll have to make due with the yoga-loving athlete’s fiery Instagram feed. Here’s a sampling:

Get out and enjoy our beautiful planet! #happyearthday 🌊☀️

OmmmmmMan it feels good to do yoga! …..but my dominant personality tends to put me in the crossfit gym. Gotta slow down, breathe. 🙏🏼 it's important to keep the yin/yang in balance in our mind and bodies. What's your balance….. mine is crossfit/interval cardio and yoga/walks in the woods.

Chalk it up to a good day! 🤣 wow, we shot from 10-7(all arrived at 8 and hair/make started at 830) pretty much strait through. It was a lot of work for everyone but we also got a lot of incredible content for the book and everything it takes to represent both the pretty and intense side for @prettyintensebydanica. Thank you team! @scottmcdermott_ @alimac1924 @fixsandi ….. and about 10 others that were here all day!
