- 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 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:
Add a loaded carry in the opposite hand to create an offset stability challenge.
Common Problems:
Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
