Equipment:
Dumbbell
Applicability:
Group&Focus
Superset?:

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Shoulders stay stacked over hips — no leaning to one side.
  2. 2. Keep the torso upright; a slight forward lean is acceptable but avoid collapsing.
  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:

Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.

Common Problems:

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