In my search for health and my love of wine, I found this Wine Workout!! Much to my surprise, it looks like there might be something to this. The Wine Workout, a viral video I found that April Storey had made all in fun. As a fitness enthusiast and decided to incorporate wine into her workouts. There are several videos April has put out now and they actually look like pretty good workouts. She uses the two bottles of wine for weights and wine as a bonus for a great workout.
The Wine Workout Comes to Life
While this first video in 2016 was intended as a joke, the message she conveys was more serious. Shortly after the video went viral, April went to her Instagram to share with all that her goal is to show that fitness can be fun and that you can include healthy living into your daily life using ordinary items. Plus, you can still enjoy treats—that includes a glass or three of wine.
The wine workout uses bottles of wine both for resistance and for reward. Using a “WILL RUN FOR WINE” tank (btw, check out below to find one!), she shows how to take sips between biceps curls and tone your shoulders by pumping bottles.
April Storey states in an interview to the Observer.com:
“If it encourages someone to go work out because they can have a beer afterward, there are worse things that could trend,” Storey told Observer.com. “This could be a great way to raise awareness about a healthy lifestyle and show people you don’t have to feel deprived and eliminate the things we love, like beer and wine, we just have to be smart and use moderation.”
Since that first video, there has been a follow-up video made that shows how to do the wine workout with a partner!! Because drinking and workouts are two things that are definitely better with friends!

Wine Workout with Instruction
Here is instruction from April Storey herself. This is just a taste of what you can do. The video below is a great workout and I would do the circuit 3 times. Combine exercises doing each 3 times as well from the other two videos and you will have a full workout. Each bottle weighs about 2.65 lbs which are perfect for low impact weight lifting.
You can let your imagination run wild with all the different exercises you can do with wine. I have also taken some of my regular workout routine where I need weights I am implementing the use of wine bottles!! This will make for a fun workout and you will feel the rewards from it in more than one way. Looking good and Drink Wine for the health of your heart. Wow, what a great workout.
