Butterflies WITHOUT a Machine?

Totally possible! I know! You thought you had to be all fancy and have either some fancy machine at home or one of those nifty little club memberships to enjoy the benefits of doing the butterfly! NOT ANYMORE!!

Do you have a resistance band? Or hand weights? What are you waiting for then? Here's how you do them!

Lie on your back. With your feet on the ground and legs bent, raise your arms so that the palms are facing each other and directly above your chest. With your resistance band or hand weights in your hands, elbows slightly bent, pull your arms away from each other until your elbows touch the ground, and return to starting position. Move slowly throughout the exercise, THIS IS NOT A RACE! You will feel the pull in your chest, arms and even your back. When you're ready, increase the resistance in your bands or the weight of your hand weights.

It is that simple! A nice new exercise that helps you to get the results of those nifty machines without having to have one! Who'd have thunk it!

Good Luck!
