Stick twists are performed by placing a broom stick across the shoulders while the hands lightly grip the stick for support with the feet shoulder width apart and held sturdy for support, but again, if you are looking to lose weight and burn fat then you should begin a good fat burning dieting program to achieve your weightloss goals.  Begin stick twists by slowly and deliberately twisting the upper body from side to side.  The key to stick twists is to flex the abdominal muscles with each twist so as to actually work the abdominal muscles, obliques and intercostals.
