Yes! Four different spots -
Femoral pulse - at the top of your leg in the groin area in the centre of the leg
Popliteal pulse - behind the knee (pretty deep so it can be difficult to feel)
Anterior tibial - on the back part of the knobbly bit on the inside of your ankle
Dorsalis pedis - on the top of your foot just back from your big toe
