I just started the twelve week ab program and one of the movements is called seated twists. i'm having a hard time feeling it and i'm assuming i'm not doing it properly as there is no picture or clip i'm wondering if anyone has a more accurate description for me. Thanks in advance!

You twist. It isn't one of those exercises that you are going to be panting by. If you want, you can substitute diagonal crunches, and essentially work the same muscles. I enjoy the seated twists because they also give me a chance to stretch out the muscles I just used.

I find that if you try to bring the end of the stick or whatever you are using to nearly in front of your chest and keep your head up you should feel a nice stretch in the obliques. I had to increase the reps, this might also help.:big_smile:
