Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 2. Brace core before stepping; stability is set before the weight shifts.
- 3. Push the knee out on the descent to ensure it tracks over the toe.
- 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Use a split-squat with the rear foot elevated on a low surface to reduce the balance demand.
Progression:
Introduce a knee-drive at the top of the step to increase hip flexor and single-leg balance demand.
Common Problems:
Torso collapsing forward — reinforce upright chest and a strong brace before the step.
