Key Teaching Points:

- 2. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
- 3. Push the knee out on the descent to ensure it tracks over the toe.
- 4. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.
Regression:
Half-kneeling holds focusing on pelvic alignment before progressing to moving lunge variations.
Progression:
Progress to a walking lunge then a jumping lunge once bilateral mechanics are solid.
Common Problems:
Hip hiking on the rear leg — cue level hips and engage the stance-leg glute.
