Hello everyone :) I have a couple of stupid question's about the seated twists exercise in the 12 week ab workout. Does the bar need to be weighted or can it a broom stick. Second is on rep counted as going from center to right to center then left and back to center or is it center to right (1 rep) and then center to left(1 rep). I just want to clarify it. Thanks for the help in advance

Actually, it depends on your fitness level as to if you want to use weights or not. I personally don't, kind of use them if I do them at all with just a bar or broomstick or something similar. I really don't value them much. But, a full rep would be a full twist, from left to right, or right to left.What I do when I do them is like if I am on # 41, I would be counting, to myself, 40, then finish the word one when I am fully on the other side.
