Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.
  2. 2. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

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.
