Workout Name:
Intro to Butterfly Sit-ups
Description:

butterfly sit-ups, kettle bells swings, and squats; complete a 400
meter run after each set of repetitions.
Cooldown:
1-mile walk and long stretch.
Comments:
The butterfly sit-up is performed with the soles of
the feet placed together and close to the crotch. By conducting this movement the abdominal muscles are better isolated and the stress on the hips and quads is eliminated. Also do not brace your feet or place hands behind neck, instead place hands straight above head with arms extended. Throw the arms forward and pull the body up into the sitting position. Sit all the way up and touch the toes with both hands. Placing a rolled up towel or using an Ab Mat under the lumbar arch will greatly increase the success of this exercise.
