Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.
  3. 3. 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:

Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.

Common Problems:

Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
