  1. 1Glutes and hamstrings driving your hips toward the ceiling
  2. 2A firm squeeze at the top with ribs down
  3. 3Heels pressing steadily into the cradles to stay balanced

Common mistakes

  • Arching your lower back to push higher
  • Letting your hips sag or drift side to side
  • Pushing through your toes instead of your heels
