Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  4. 4. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.

Regression:

Use a split-squat with the rear foot elevated on a low surface to reduce the balance demand.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Front knee traveling too far forward — cue a big step and emphasis on the vertical shin.
