The seated twist from the 12 wk abs?
Is it conducted sitting on a stool/chair or sitting on the floor?


Movement : Seated Twists
Primary Muscles : Train obliques
Secondary Muscles : waist

NOW PIC AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT

Movement Execution:


Explanation: This exercise is performed in a seated position. You will need to put something behind your shoulder for your arms to rest on, such a s a broom stick. It is in the same position a bar would be if oyu were to squat. Feet flat on the floor and back straight. Keeping your head stationary, looking forward, twist your torso to the right side. Turn as much as you can, feel the tightness. Now return to the starting position and do the same for the other side. Repeat the movement.

It can be done on a bench. You'll probably bump the backrest if you do them on a chair.

I do them on the floor. It makes it easier when I am at the gym, I don't have to fight for a bench.
