For today's butterfly twist movement I guess the gear that you really need is just yourself.
But take into account the clothing that you wear is going to be important. Now I like
to wear some comfortable yet loose clothing because as you're moving around and twisting
you don't want the pants to be too tight or restrictive. And you also don't want them
to be too long, as you may slip. So you want to be able to, you know, move around freely,
be able to do some kicks and so, so you can jump into the movement readily. Also, the
amount of space you need, if you take a look here, you want to be able to have a good seven
or eight or nine steps even. Because as you're running through the movement it's going to
be, take a few steps and skips, and what not. And you don't want to have a wall right here
because you might crash into it. So definitely you want to be in a very open space and you
need to take a look at your surroundings that there's nothing around on the floor. And lastly,
I'd like to say that you do need to have shoes for this movement, especially if it's your
first time, if you're training outdoors. If you're training indoors on a gymnastics mat
or carpet then it's a little bit better. However, it's always best to have some support on your
feet when you're doing movements like this to protect your ankles as well.
