Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
  2. 2. Hip flexor of the trailing leg should feel a stretch at the bottom.
  3. 3. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
  4. 4. Back knee lowers with control — tap the floor gently, do not crash.

Regression:

Half-kneeling holds focusing on pelvic alignment before progressing to moving lunge variations.

Progression:

Add dumbbells, increase step height, or progress to a deficit reverse lunge.

Common Problems:

Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
