Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add dumbbells, increase step height, or progress to a deficit reverse lunge.

Common Problems:

Torso collapsing forward — reinforce upright chest and a strong brace before the step.
