You need to be focusing on the contraction in the oblique and then slowly return to the starting position. And then do a few more repetitions on the left side, then switch and repeat on the right side and you need to perform 5 sets of 30 reps (15 reps on each side).
#2. Standing Crunches
Stand on your left foot and, keeping your right leg straight, extend it behind your body. Lift your right foot slightly off the floor. Reach both arms up over your head. Exhale and bend your right knee as you raise your knee in front of your body.
Bend both elbows and aim to reach your elbows to your right knee. Return your arms overhead and your right leg behind your body.
#3. Plank Up-Down
