Exercise Type:
Lower Step
Contraindications:
Knee Problems
Equipment:
Dumbbell
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
  2. 2. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.
  3. 3. Front shin should remain as vertical as possible throughout.

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:

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