Exercise Profile

Elastics Butterfly Overview

The Butterfly workout is a chest-focused routine that utilizes elastics to target and strengthen the chest muscles.

During the workout, the elastics are used to perform exercises such as chest presses, flyes, and push-ups.

While the elastics may also engage secondary muscles, the primary emphasis of the workout is on developing a stronger and more defined chest.
