Instructions
Alternate Leg Diagonal Bound
Assume a comfortable stance with one foot slightly in front of the other.
Begin by pushing off with the front leg, driving the opposite knee forward and as high as possible before landing. Attempt to cover as much distance to each side with each bound.
It may help to use a line on the ground to guage distance from side to side.
Repeat the sequence with the other leg.
Sit Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
Begin the movement by flexing your knees and hips, sitting back with your hips.
Continue until you have squatted a portion of the way down, but are above parallel, and quickly reverse the motion until you return to the starting position. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions.
Verdict
Both exercises target the quadriceps. Alternate Leg Diagonal Bound is a beginner exercise using none, while Sit Squats is beginner and uses none.
