100 crunches on each side for external obliquest, turn legs to one side and then do crunches.
50 leg raises, lay flat on back, hands form a triangle under your tailbone to help support your body and slowly raise and lower legs, keeping them straight and never letting legs touch the ground.
50 sculler crunches (these might have a different name, but this is the name I learned for them). Balance on your tailbone while sitting up with legs pulled to your chest and arms extended out then lean back and extend legs while pulling arms in and then legs back in arms out, etc.
150 more regular crunches
Also it's important to strengthen back muscles as you work your abs. I like doing seals (lay down on your stomach with arms by your side and then raise and lower yourself torso. Also holding a flat weight against your chest and bending down and lifting up, keeping your back straight.
