While trying this out, keep few things in mind and they are:
(i)Keep your spine straight and engage your core in such way that the belly button remain as close as possible to your spine. It will set your body in the proper posture.
(ii) To get better balance keep your forearm attached to your body but keep your arm loose from your body, keep it firm.
(iii) Do not look too much up or down. This will break your body alignment. If you continue in the wrong posture for long, you may end up hurting your neck.
(iv) Do not break your leg from knee. It will not give you the much awaited result.
(v) Keep your hand firm but do not keep it fixed. Make it work properly. Without using the hands also you can move your hips but it will bring negative result.
(vi) Do not cross your ankles or do not let your body-trunk touch the ground.
(vii) Do as many as you can, do not push yourself to strain much.
