Weekly Wednesday Workout: Butterfly Crunch
Time for an oldie but a goodie!
Although I have been doing this Weekly Wednesday Workout for years now, this is actually the first time I am highlighting the butterfly crunch! I love this move because it’s a great way to switch from the regular crunch. It’s a move that has been in workout videos–since the beginning of workout videos! Sometimes we have to go back to the basics to get real results!
Have you ever tried the Butterfly Crunch? What is your favorite oldie but goodie workout move?

I’ve never tried the Butterfly Crunch but I am willing to give it a try! Thanks for another good move!
(((dont tell anyone but I LOVE OLD SCHOOOOOL CRUNCHES. more than planks)))
Yes, I so need to do more crunches as I have been neglecting them and my abs lately. Thanks Nellie!! 😉
I was told though years of personal training that these type of crunches were not good for your spine. However, Dr. Jordan Metzl has them as part of his IronStrength workout and I’ve been seeing them more and more! Like everything else, these are coming back around, probably with “new” research declaring them safe after all. Gotta love it.
I need to reincorporate into my life! My favorite oldie but goodie move are leg lifts- Jane Fonda style!
Whoa! I will have to give these a try. I always like to incorporate new moves into my workouts, so I don’t get bored. Thanks for sharing!
Love that move – I actually did butterfly crunches on the BOSU this morning.
Oh how I miss good ab workouts right now! Thanks for highlighting an oldie but goodie!
I love the butterfly crunch. I do 100 of those and 100 floor bridges, 4 days a week with my 19.8 lbs 6 month old on my belly. For the butterfly crunch, he can practice tummy time at the same time so we get a dual work out!
