Now crunch over your torso forward and up around 3-4 inches to the left side and touch your left heel as you hold the contraction for a second. Exhale while performing this movement and then go back to the starting position as you inhale. Now that both heels have been touched, that is considered 1 repetition.

Continue alternating sides in this manner until all prescribed repetitions are done.
Important tips
Exhale on the effort — brace your abs before every rep.
Slow reps make the difference — abs hate momentum.
Keep your lower back glued to the floor where applicable.
