Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Back knee lowers with control — tap the floor gently, do not crash.

Regression:

Reduce stride length or use a TRX or wall for balance assistance. Perform a reverse lunge on the spot before adding forward movement.

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.
