Former IndyCar driver Danica Patrick stunned fans with a glimpse into her intense fitness routine on Friday (April 11), showcasing a powerful set of barbell hip thrusts in a workout clip that she shared via her instagram. The American demonstated her leg day workout routine through a series of Instagram stories.

Since then, Patrick has often appeared in the media as a pundit, covering both IndyCar and F1 at times. But mostly, she remains connected to her fans via social media, where she shares glimpses from her daily life, which also includes her workout routines.

On Friday, Patrick shared a series of clips from her intense workout via her Instagram stories, including one where she could be seen doing a leg and abdomen workout.

Danica Patrick has also used her social media platforms to share her thoughts on life, spirituality, philosophy and almost all sorts of topics. Most recently, she was in the news for her opinions on social and political issues, after having endorsed Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential elections.

Patrick has admitted to becoming a Republican supporter since last year and even campaigned for Trump back in November 2024. The American also moderated rallies for Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during this period last year.
