Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  4. 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

Half-kneeling holds focusing on pelvic alignment before progressing to moving lunge variations.

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.
