- Equipment:

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.
- 2. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.
- 3. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
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:
Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.
Common Problems:
Pushing off the back toe to assist the return — ensure all drive comes from the front heel.
