Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
  3. 3. Push the knee out on the descent to ensure it tracks over the toe.
  4. 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.
