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