- None
- Equipment:
- Floor Based
- Applicability:
- Group
- Superset?:

- Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.
- 2. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
- 3. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
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:
Torso collapsing forward — reinforce upright chest and a strong brace before the step.
