Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
  2. 2. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

Perform a slow step-up onto a low box before progressing to lunges with a full stride.

Progression:

Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.

Common Problems:

Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
