Layer 1 / Base Lunge
Glide carriage away, coming into a lunge shape, knee over heel. Pole supports balance, keep fingers light. Dig in front heel to return to standing. Try to keep the back leg straight.

Progression If balance is good, while carriage is closed, pick up pole, and lift with outstretched arms as you press carriage away.

Layer 2 / Add a scooter
Hold lunge at the bottom, drag back leg in closing springs, press carriage out opening springs. Dig in through heel and return to standing.

Layer 3 / Stay in the scooters
Hold down in lunge, and keep body and hips still as you scooter the carriage in and out.

Finisher / Hold
