The 24-year-old mother told People that she loves wine – in moderation – and came up with the idea on New Year’s Eve.

“Working out is a big part of my day and my routine. I also of course love wine, and wine in moderation is okay, so I came up with the idea on New Year’s Eve after we had bought some wine to go over to our friend’s house. The initial idea of it was that you can use anything in your house to work out, whether it’s soup cans or wine bottles.”

The self-proclaimed fitness and wine lover admitted that she’s “shocked” by the popularity of her “wine workout” video.

Her video was even shared by former “Star Trek” star George Takei, who tweeted “Quit wine-ing and work out.”
