Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
  2. 2. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.
  3. 3. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.

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 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.
