I haven't done the x-position for awhile, but I recall that the headboard was always a good source of leverage for me.

From the "bottoms up" position (as referred to in the "How to" section fo this site), I'd position myself on the bed with my toes positioned just underneath the headboard where it meets the top of the mattress. Then, I'd squeeze my arms through my legs and pull my head ans shoulders through so that my pits were positioned against the back of my legs. At this point, your head and shoulders are beyond your knees, and it's only a little farther before you can drop your toes off the headboard and postion your ankles behind your head. But the key is to keep those toes under the headboard to give you the leverage you need.

It's important to stretch your legs out fully to get the X position to work. Once I do that, I usually lean up against a couch, and put one leg behind my head at a time.

Stretch in the plough position, and repeat it for as long as you think it will take to get stretched out.

My best results happened when I stretched out in the plough, and stretched my legs out thoroughly. I think having a workout a few hours before helps too.
