Equipment:
Floor Based, Low Bands

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Back knee lowers with control — tap the floor gently, do not crash.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

Perform a slow step-up onto a low box before progressing to lunges with a full stride.

Progression:

Introduce a knee-drive at the top of the step to increase hip flexor and single-leg balance demand.

Common Problems:

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