Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
  4. 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.

Regression:

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

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.
