Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
  2. 2. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  4. 4. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.

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 a loaded carry in the opposite hand to create an offset stability challenge.

Common Problems:

Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
