Are you in search of a clever reason to indulge in more wine? Look no further, because this innovative California mom has got you covered. She has created a ‘wine workout’ that seamlessly blends fitness with fun, and it’s quickly becoming a viral sensation you won’t want to miss.
Meet Sarah Mitchell
Sarah Mitchell is a fitness trainer and educator who frequently shares useful tips and workout videos on her social media platforms. Around New Year’s Eve, while preparing to film a workout video, she had a lightbulb moment to incorporate the bottles of red wine she had on hand for a gathering. She filmed herself using the wine as makeshift dumbbells and shared the hilarious video on Facebook and Instagram, giving rise to the ‘wine workout’ trend.
The ‘Wine Workout’ Video
In the video, Sarah demonstrates a variety of arm exercises using two bottles of wine. She then transitions to ‘wine push-ups,’ where she lowers herself towards a wine glass fitted with a straw, treating herself to a sip of the delicious drink between each repetition. Although some viewers raised concerns about potential accidents with the wine glass, we know that a mom would never risk her precious cabernet.
The video skyrocketed to popularity after actor George Takei shared it with his vast Facebook audience of nine million followers. It subsequently gained traction on a page called Once Upon A Wine, where it amassed over 18 million views and 240,000 shares. Its success prompted Sarah to create a follow-up video focusing on lower body workouts, showcasing her commitment to delivering more entertaining content.
Prioritizing Health
While the concept of exercising with wine bottles may seem whimsical, Sarah emphasizes a crucial message about prioritizing health. “What I aim to convey through my videos is that fitness can be integrated into your daily life,” she explains. “You can work out anywhere, and with practically anything.”
Getting back in shape can feel overwhelming, particularly after having children. It’s often challenging to carve out time and motivation for exercise amidst the demands of family life. Many of us believe that we must invest in personal training or join expensive gyms to take our health seriously. However, even a workout using two bottles of wine in your living room is a step in the right direction. This is the essence of Sarah’s creative videos—reminding us that we don’t require high-end equipment to get moving. Chances are, you have a few bottles or boxes of wine at home, and if not, your friends likely have some to spare.
