Instructions
Backward Drag
Load a sled with the desired weight, attaching a rope or straps to the sled that you can hold onto.
Begin the exercise by moving backwards for a given distance. Leaning back, extend through the legs for short steps to move as quickly as possible.
Frog Hops
Stand with your hands behind your head, and squat down keeping your torso upright and your head up. This will be your starting position.
Jump forward several feet, avoiding jumping unnecessarily high. As your feet contact the ground, absorb the impact through your legs, and jump again. Repeat this action 5-10 times.
Verdict
Both exercises target the quadriceps. Backward Drag is a beginner exercise using other, while Frog Hops is intermediate and uses none. Choose Backward Drag if you're looking for a more accessible option, or Frog Hops for a greater challenge.
