- 2. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.
- 3. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
- 4. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
Regression:
Perform a slow step-up onto a low box before progressing to lunges with a full stride.
Progression:
Add dumbbells, increase step height, or progress to a deficit reverse lunge.
Common Problems:
Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
