Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.
  2. 2. Push the knee out on the descent to ensure it tracks over the toe.
  3. 3. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.

Regression:

Use a split-squat with the rear foot elevated on a low surface to reduce the balance demand.

Progression:

Introduce a knee-drive at the top of the step to increase hip flexor and single-leg balance demand.

Common Problems:

Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
