Safety Notes

• Focus on maintaining balance before adding speed or significant weight.
• Avoid jamming the back knee into the floor.
• Ensure stable footing before initiating the movement.

Spotting

Not recommended. If balance is a major issue, use lighter weight or hold onto a fixed object for stability.

Common Mistakes

• Allowing the front knee to collapse inward.
• Leaning the torso too far forward.
• Taking steps that are too short.

• Acute knee pain or instability.
• Recent hip or ankle injury.

• Adequate hip flexor mobility in the rear leg.
• Good ankle dorsiflexion in the front leg.

Build Up First

• Basic unweighted reverse lunge competency.
• Core bracing ability.
