- Try to keep a straight line from he top of your head to the heel of the leg that's in the air.

- Keep your core tight and engaged

- When holding with the weight, DO NOT round your shoulders when your leg is in the air (If you are holding a kettle bell or      

    dumbbell, do not feel you have to touch the ground, rather keep that straight line and core engaged).

- Bend your balancing leg slightly in the down position, but not too much.
