Why this exercise

Eccentric hamstring loading during the descent phase. Deep hip flexion at the bottom creates maximal stretch on the hamstrings and glutes. The front lunge emphasizes the posterior chain more than alternated lunges.

Placed third to provide hamstring work before moving to calves and core.
