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