    Overall it is good.

    If I were to nitpick, when you change into right leg forward and left leg behind, you have more body lean and your left leg is a little further behind. Just bring it in a little bit and keep your torso a little more upright.

    This asymmetry may be because you probably pivot on your left foot and lunge onto your right leg. Just be aware of this and you’ll be fine.

    Agree with Zi here…

    I’d add a concern about the shoes…

    One of the reasons we use this exercise early in our programming is to teach you how to feel your front side glute and quad by pausing and driving through your heel (to feel front side glute) and mid foot (to balance it out with quad activation) …

    It is very difficult to feel your glutes in “running shoes” those shoes are made for linear locomotion and are meant to absorb forces.. which is fine with running but it won’t give you the feedback you need from the ground to feel your glute because when you drive into the shoe you don’t get any feedback from the ground, only softness which generally leads to over active quads or other muscles doing the work.

    This is why we recommend “training shoes” to our athletes, as well as bouts of barefoot training.

    ah ok.. not the first time you’ve said I shouldn’t have running shoes while lifting.. will try to remember from now on!

    Tnx Tim!
