Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Push the knee out on the descent to ensure it tracks over the toe.
  2. 2. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
  3. 3. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.

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:

Introduce a knee-drive at the top of the step to increase hip flexor and single-leg balance demand.

Common Problems:

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