Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
- 3. Push the knee out on the descent to ensure it tracks over the toe.
- 4. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
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:
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.
