- None
- Equipment:
- Dumbbell
- Applicability:
- Group&Focus

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the pelvis level — avoid hip hiking on the supporting side.
- 2. The standing leg stays engaged even when it is the recovery leg.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
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:
Front knee traveling too far forward — cue a big step and emphasis on the vertical shin.
