Danica Patrick: "Stop Blaming Age"

Danica Patrick had a blunt message for out-of-shape Americans on social media last 16 June.

The retired professional racing star, who retired in 2018, has remained very physically active. Patrick, now 43, hits the gym most days. She has also been getting into golf and tennis, among other things.

Patrick, it's safe to say, is still in very good shape for someone of her age - or any age, for that matter.

But most Americans are not like that. The United States is one of the most obese countries in the world. It's unfortunate when you look at the statistics.

Patrick, who often posts on social media about her gym going habits, had a three-word message about Americans who are out of shape.

"Stop blaming age," the post shared by Patrick read.

Patrick shared a post on social media about the current state of Americans and their fitness.

"Stop blaming age," the post read.

"You don't lose muscle because you're getting older. You lose muscle because you stop using it."

Patrick likes to hit the gym hard, as she's revealed that her workout routine consists of high-intensity interval training and combines aerobic exercise with calisthenics.
