Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.
  2. 2. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  4. 4. Control the step length on each rep — inconsistency loads unevenly.

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:

Front knee traveling too far forward — cue a big step and emphasis on the vertical shin.
