could you explain why to not let the leg come forward? Does it change what muscles are activated when shifting the leg from being in line with the body to slightly forward? Thanks, I cant find the answer to this question anywhere, just curious what muscles are being activated (or not) in the straight line position compared to the leg coming slightly forward. Thanks
Good question. The theory as that by lifting the leg into extension (backward) will better activate the glutes while inhibiting a muscle called the TFL.

Whats the diffrence in pointing your toe up vs down
It impacts the motion at the hip joint which may engage certain muscles depending on the position.
