- None
- Equipment:
- Step

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
- 2. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
- 3. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
Regression:
Perform a slow step-up onto a low box before progressing to lunges with a full stride.
Progression:
Add a loaded carry in the opposite hand to create an offset stability challenge.
Common Problems:
Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
