What are grasshoppers and pleasant valleys?

Grasshoppers start out like the mountain climbers except you dont bring the legs back and forth you slide to the side so heres how they go:

Grasshoppers-Begin position on all fours. while having the hands on the floor slightly lift your leg and slide it under the chest until it nearly touches the opposing hand. w.out hesitation reverese the direction and slide the other to that opposing hand.

Pleasent Valleys- Sit on the floor, back is straight and hands overhead. lift the legs up and proceed to do a bicycling motion w/ the feet. w/ doing this, use your hands as if you're picking grapes from a vinyard or cherries from a tree, grip and squeeze and keep peddling.
