Abstract
In this note, I present two variations of the principle of stationary action in order to provide alternative ways for students to think about the action that they may find more intuitive than the traditional approach. These methods involve Lagrange multiplier techniques and are, therefore, best suited for students who are encountering the stationary action principle for a second or third time, perhaps in an advanced undergraduate mathematical methods course or a graduate classical mechanics course.
