Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
- 4. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.
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:
Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
