Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Sliders
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Back knee lowers with control — tap the floor gently, do not crash.
  2. 2. Step length determines demand — longer step increases glute load, shorter increases quad.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Drive through the heel of the front foot to return to standing.

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:

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.
