April Storey, a 24-year-old Northern California mom’s video mixing wine and exercise has gone viral online. It has been viewed by roughly more than 25 million people.
For most of us moms, workout is a struggle! Finding time, energy and motivation to workout always almost seems impossible. But, this so called ‘wine workout’ seems like a great way to make it more fun for a mommy.
In an interview with local station KRCR, this mom said that her busy, multi-tasking life was the inspiration for the 15-second video now dubbed “Wine Workout.”
Storey said, “I was getting ready to do a workout, and I saw the wine there and I’m like, ‘You know, that would be kind of funny to incorporate wine into this workout video.'”
“What I want to show people with my videos is that fitness is something you can do every day, you can do it anywhere, and you can use anything
She says she incorporates many everyday items in her workouts – not just alcohol.
The video commenced going viral after former “Star Trek” actor and online star George Takei posted Storey’s video with a caption saying “quit wine-ing and work out” to his nine million followers.
There have been a few negative reactions about her hurting herself, potentially falling on the wine, but most of the people have been sending back their own videos and pictures.
