And, while tempers may have flared with team Trackhouse in edge-of-your-seat scenes, the speed star says that it\u2019s simply all part of wanting to be the very best. When it comes to controlling his car, Sua\u0301rez says that it\u2019s really all about maintaining his core for success.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR fans get to know the iconic driver, Daniel Sua\u0301rez, one of 16 drivers in the playoffs, and his family in the second season of<em> Full Speed.<\/em> The docuseries provides a deeper look into the trials and tribulations of life in the fast lane, including the pivotal influence that Sua\u0301rez\u2019s father, Alejandro had on the young upstart\u2019s career, as well as the driver\u2019s wife, Julia Piquet, (daughter of F1 legend Nelson Piquet), who became a viewer favorite thanks to her straight-talking attitude and support for her husband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is just a lot going on in the racing world,\u201d Sua\u0301rez tells M&amp;F. \u201cAnd also, the personal side. But sometimes people don\u2019t really know, right? And that to me is the most important part to share in this show. To show people who we are.

I was a very skinny kid,\u201d reveals the elite-athlete. As Sua\u0301rez\u2019s knowledge of working out progressed, he also began to understand the mind-to-muscle connection. \u201cI\u2019m training my mind as much as I\u2019m training my body,\u201d he says. Still, there is one part of the body that really determines ultimate control of the car. \u201cIt is very important to have a strong core in my opinion,\u201d explains Sua\u0301rez, who most recently placed first at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in February 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the racer loves to get his reps in, Sua\u0301rez shares that his training has evolved to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/workout-tips\/30-best-bodyweight-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use more bodyweight movements<\/a>, often relying on resistance bands to increase his flexibility and mobility, while working his core with exercises like weighted situps, Russian twists or dead bugs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, a lot of push-ups and squats,\u201d adds the driver, who reveals that when it comes to the bench press and pullups, he is usually able to outperform his race rivals when they are battling for pole position in the gym.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when gripping the steering wheel, the upper body also comes into play. \u201cEvery driver is a little bit different, but for me, I have come to learn that the shoulders are very important,\u201d shares Sua\u0301rez. His decision to utilize resistance bands rather than weights is a smart choice during the busy NASCAR season because <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6383082\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studies have shown training with elastic resistance provide strength gains<\/a> that are similar to training with conventional weights, but without the potential for injury that comes from lifting the barbell.<\/p>\n<h2>Withstanding the Heat of Competition<\/h2>\n<p>Recovery is also key, and this racer loves to hit the sauna, especially the day after a race. Sua\u0301rez tells M&amp;F that he fits at least one cardio focused workout into his week as well and gets out on the mountain bike when time allows. Sua\u0301rez\u2019s choice of using the sauna for recovery is also a winning strategy, because it keeps him acclimatized to the intense heat of the race. \u201cYou know, when we\u2019re inside these race cars, it\u2019s almost like being in the oven,\u201d he shares. \u201cIn the middle of summer, it gets extremely hot. I have seen temperatures inside my race car up to 150\u00b0F.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once again, the ability to withstand incredible heat is a time when Sua\u0301rez must rely on that mind-to-muscle connection. While he attempts to stay hydrated, the driver details the fact that he loses around 3 pounds in weight per race. The driver says that during such tests on the track; a tight core and lower back are essential in order to stop himself from \u201cfalling apart.\u201d Fortunately, he has always relished a challenge. \u201cI have to feel comfortable being uncomfortable,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/81700869\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NASCAR: Full Speed Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/daniel_suarezg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To follow Daniel Sua\u0301rez on Instagram click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/pro-tips\/daniel-suarezs-life-and-training-on-full-display-in-nascar-full-speed\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Sua\u0301rez is no stranger to the cameras, but in season two of Netflix\u2019s NASCAR: Full Speed, the only Mexican driver ever to win a NASCAR Cup Series race allows fans to see the passion that he has for competition both inside and outside of the car.
