Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
- 2. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
- 3. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
- 4. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
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:
Front knee traveling too far forward — cue a big step and emphasis on the vertical shin.
