Wine and fitness are two things that don’t usually go hand in hand. However, what if we told you that you can actually combine the two? Yes, you read that right! You can now get fit while sipping on your favorite glass of wine.

This might sound too good to be true, but with a fitness ball, you can turn your wine-drinking sessions into fun and effective workout sessions. In this article, we will take a look at five exercises that you can do with a fitness ball to get fit while enjoying your wine. So let’s get started!.

1. Wine Bottle Shoulder Press

The wine bottle shoulder press is a great exercise for toning your shoulder muscles. Begin by sitting on the fitness ball with your feet planted firmly on the ground.

Hold a wine bottle in each hand, with your palms facing forward and your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.

Now, press the wine bottles upward until your arms are fully extended. Hold this position for a few seconds, and then slowly lower the bottles back to the starting position.

Repeat this exercise for 10-12 repetitions, and feel the burn in your shoulders as you work those muscles with the added weight of the wine bottles.

2. Plank Rollouts with Wine Glass

The plank rollout is an excellent exercise for strengthening your core muscles. To incorporate your wine glass into this exercise, start by assuming a plank position with your forearms resting on the fitness ball and your toes on the ground.

Now, carefully reach out with one hand and pick up your wine glass. Hold the glass steady as you slowly roll the fitness ball forward, extending your body into a straight line.

Pause for a moment, and then roll the ball back to the starting position, all while keeping the wine glass balanced on your hand.

Repeat this exercise for 10-12 repetitions on each side, and feel the burn in your abs as you engage your core muscles to stabilize your body while holding the wine glass steady.

3. Wine Bottle Lunges

Lunges are a fantastic exercise for toning your leg muscles. To add a wine-inspired twist to this classic exercise, grab a wine bottle in each hand and stand tall with your feet hip-width apart.

Take a step forward with your right leg, bending both knees to lower your body into a lunge position. As you do this, bring the wine bottles alongside your hips, keeping them close to your body.

Push through your right heel to stand back up and bring your right foot back to the starting position. Repeat this exercise for 10-12 repetitions on each side, feeling the burn in your quads and glutes while enjoying the weighted resistance that the wine bottles provide.

4. Wine Glass Russian Twists

Russian twists are a fantastic exercise for targeting your oblique muscles. To make this exercise wine-friendly, sit on the fitness ball with your feet planted firmly on the ground and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.

Hold your wine glass in both hands in front of your chest, and lean back slightly to engage your core. Keeping your feet and hips stationary, twist your upper body to one side and touch the wine glass to the ground.

Then, twist to the other side and touch the glass to the ground on the opposite side.

Repeat this exercise for 10-12 repetitions on each side, feeling the burn in your obliques as you engage your core to twist your body from side to side while holding the wine glass steady.

5. Wine Bottle Bicep Curls

Bicep curls are a classic exercise for toning your upper arm muscles. To incorporate your wine bottles into this exercise, stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and a wine bottle in each hand, palms facing forward.

Keeping your upper arms stationary, bend your elbows and curl the wine bottles towards your shoulders. Pause for a moment, and then slowly lower the bottles back to the starting position.

Repeat this exercise for 10-12 repetitions, feeling the burn in your biceps as you work those arm muscles with the added weight of the wine bottles.
