Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
- 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 3. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.
- 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Reduce stride length or use a TRX or wall for balance assistance. Perform a reverse lunge on the spot before adding forward movement.
Progression:
Add dumbbells, increase step height, or progress to a deficit reverse lunge.
Common Problems:
Front knee traveling too far forward — cue a big step and emphasis on the vertical shin.
