I think your form looked great.
Regarding PLANKS: we go up a level every few weeks in my core class. We started with elbows on the floor, then worked up to bringing your knees in, then straight arms on a ball, then bringing your knees in with straight arms on a ball, then on your elbows on a ball, then bringing your knees in (30 seconds, 2 reps). Now our “homework” from core class is ONE elbow on the ball, 2nd arm straight out in front. I can only do about 2 seconds!!

Good job! I know many people who would have a difficult time doing 30 push ups, ‘alternative’ or not. I noticed your stomach starting to fall towards the end (hence the booty concern). If you flex your abs, it’ll keep your upper body straight while giving your core a workout too!

Have you tried planks?
