Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 2. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
- 3. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
- 4. 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:
Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.
Common Problems:
Front knee traveling too far forward — cue a big step and emphasis on the vertical shin.
