## Exercise Highlights
* Start by placing elbows on the ground, evenly distribute your weight over the forearms.
* Legs are straight and along with your butt, squeezed tight.
* Push forward through your feet so that you're on your tip toes which allows your shoulders to be directly over your elbows or more forward.
* Keep the neck in a neutral position by keeping your eyes on the ground in front of your hands.
* Tighten your abs to brance and fully engage your core.

## Common Mistakes

* Avoid letting your heels push back which brings your butt to the sky and shoulders back behind your elbows.
* Letting your chin drop and looking down your body to your feet. This is bad for your neck but also causes your butt/hips to rise and disengages the core.
* Keeping knees unlocked which causes the butt to be loose, which causes the core to not be engaged as much as it can.
