They say that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.  However, I have found something that has been documented as fact. I have done extensive research on the subject, which basically means I saw a caption and it made me happy enough that I didn’t need to go any further. Sometimes in life you just have to trust. There was a study done stating that a glass of red wine is the equivalent to an hour at the gym. I don’t know how, I don’t care. I know there are doubters, especially all of those people that have been getting up early and dragging their butts to the gym, but all I can say is – haters gonna hate.  All of those wishes on stars finally paid off.  Hot damn and hallelujah!  I knew I would end up being a trend setter in some form of my life but honestly had no idea it would be with my wine consumption.

This new exercise regime not only fits my lifestyle perfectly but opens up a whole new world of possibilities.  Now I can work out practically anywhere and at any time.  I can wear dressy clothes and I won’t need to worry about getting sweaty.  I don’t need to make sure someone is home to watch my children.  I can work out in restaurants, bars, sporting events, just about anywhere that it is legal to drink wine.  I am going to be in the best damn shape of my life.  Tube tops, string bikinis, daisy dukes, oh my!

The only challenge I foresee is making it socially acceptable to “work out” in the morning.  It is recommended to start the day with exercise to clear the head.  Think of how stress free the day would be if you started out with a nice glass of exercise.  If it’s nice out I may even bring a chair down to the track and sit there to “work out”.   Wear some cute Lulu Lemon active wear and start a work out group.  We can help each other to push through the bloating and hiccups.  For the advanced work out group we will use a heavy wine glass to tone the arms and increase calories burned.  Lift, sip, lift, sip.  I pick things up and put them down.

I know that the economy may be affected by this new development and that some large gyms may lose profits. However, the farming industry should see a large increase in sales and personally I feel much better helping farmers. Farmers you say?  Yes, vineyards are basically farms, they grow grapes so you could even say we would be helping farmers.  I could even get one of those bumper stickers for my car, “Save Farms”.  I probably won’t be driving that much with all of this additional exercising, however. The way I see it, despite the haters, this is a huge win win for everyone.
