Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
- 2. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
- 3. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.
- 4. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
Regression:
Perform a slow step-up onto a low box before progressing to lunges with a full stride.
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.
