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.
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.

Both exercises target the quadriceps. Backward Drag is a beginner exercise using other, while Sit Squats is beginner and uses none. Choose Backward Drag if you have access to other, or Sit Squats if you prefer none.
