Pretty Intense: The 90-Day Mind, Body and Food Plan that will absolutely Change Your Life

Danica Patrick has announced that she plans to race only twice in 2018, in the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. The plan is being billed as the “Danica Double.” Then Ms. Patrick is looking to retirement as a race-car driver just two months after her thirty-sixth birthday.

In the interim, Danica has released a new book entitled “Pretty Intense.” NASCAR Race Mom hasn’t read it yet, but I want to as soon as I get a spare moment.

NRM is intrigued by the Amazon Summary:

America's NASCAR standout offers a 90-day program to sculpt your body, calm your mind, and achieve your greatest goals.

Everything Danica Patrick does is Pretty Intense. A top athlete in her field, not to mention a fan favorite and the first woman to rule in her male-dominated sport, Danica approaches every aspect of life with the utmost intensity. Now, she shows you how you can apply her daily principles and transform your life for the better--and have fun while doing it.

Danica's 90-day high-intensity workout, protein-rich, paleo-inspired eating plan, and mental-conditioning program will get you leaner, stronger, and healthier than you've ever been before. By mixing full-body training and stretching exercises, her accessible workouts hit the holy trinity of fitness: strength, endurance, and flexibility. Bolstered by a customized eating plan for all-day energy, her program will also help you cultivate a mindset for limitless success. You will learn to aim your sights high, confront challenges and setbacks with confidence, and cross the finish line every time. Whether your goal is a stronger core, better skills in the kitchen, or a promotion at work, Danica's Pretty Intense plan will help you reach your highest potential.

Now, while I am not too sure that Ms. Patrick “ruled in her male-dominated sport,” she definitely made a ripple in the NASCAR Ocean. Along the way, she became a role model to many women and girls, showing that a female can compete in a male-dominated sport. 

The first copies of @prettyintensebydanica just came in! Preorders release December 26! I poured a lot into this book over the last year. I wrote the table of contents and then a section for each chapter, edited every word of every chapter, produced my photo shoot, wrote and photographed every recipe, wrote every workout in the 12 week program (7 per week, none the same), tested every workout, and ran a focus group test to make sure it kicked ass! After my sister read it she said, “it sounded like you”. And for the picture lovers out there (like me), there’s almost 100 photos of me and a bunch of amazing before and after pics, as well as their story. http://bit.ly/PrettyIntenseBNSigned Happy holidays!

“I’ve been doing different things and talking about different things, it’s like a fresh start with my career,” said Patrick, who will turn 36 in March. “Cooking on TV with recipes I wrote, going on TV wearing workout clothes ... it’s so different. It has been fun to do something different.”

Excerpt from Danica’s Book:

“It’s not easy to figure out the right way to fuel your body. As a teenager, I lived in England for three years, racing Formula cars. Back then I would go to the local bookstore, which also had a coffee shop, and I would order a large latte (which I would not order now) and sit down with a stack of health and fitness books. I have always been interested in the human body and how it works, and I spent hours flipping through the pages learning new ways to take care of myself. It was the beginning of my experimentation with diets: I think the first phase was low-fat, then low-carb, then dairy-free, then whole grain, then a 40/30/30 balance . . . Then I turned my world upside down with a blood test. At the beginning of 2013, I took a test that scanned my blood against the ninety-six most common foods. Before I tell you my results, let me tell you generally what I used to eat so you can understand how shocked I was.”

Sounds both interesting and easy to read. I think I will purchase it to read on my trip to Texas this March.
