Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.
- 2. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.
- 3. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.
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:
Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
