Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
  2. 2. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  4. 4. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.

Regression:

Half-kneeling holds focusing on pelvic alignment before progressing to moving lunge variations.

Progression:

Add a loaded carry in the opposite hand to create an offset stability challenge.

Common Problems:

Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
