The place you didn't suggest IS the place where you put your elbows.
You want to put them on the sides of your stomach so that you can get the most balance. Especially when you do the turtle, it's crucial, as you won't be able to spin when both your arms are right beside each other on your abs.
You don't see tables with both the legs close together right? Think of your turtle position as a table: the wider the gap of your arms, the more balance you have.
So, if you have abs, then put your elbows right beside them, like outside.
Open your legs, and lean forward a little, helps you from falling backwards.
