Danica spends a lot of time at the gym – even on vacation. She lifts incredibly heavy weights instead of doing several reps of lighter ones. On the fitness tab of her Instagram accounts she shares lots of her workouts. In one of them, she deadlifts 255 pounds. She also planks.

2. She Golfs

Danica has been spending a lot of time on the golf course. “I found the trick to golfing. Barefoot and bikinis,” she captioned a post. “Got a few days of much needed time off for my brain.” A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

3. She Does Yoga

The only reliable way to change your reality is to change your perception. Happiness is not outside of you, it’s the way you see things. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. She Drinks Green Juices

Danica is a fan of green juice. On her Instagram Stories, she shared her version of St. Patrick’s Day spirits, a cup of “drs orders” green juice, and an “immunity shot with oil of oregano.”

5. She Eats Clean

Danica eats incredibly clean, focusing her diet around a lot of plants with lean meats, like salmon, bison, or ground beef sprinkled in. She also loves healthy fats like avocado, and eats a lot of eggs.
