Quad Exercises

Exercises with your quads as the primary target:

• Leg Extension - Bodyweight

  This can be done anywhere, from your kitchen to standing at a bus stop, so you'll always have a reason to do them.

• Lunges - Bodyweight

  Lunges can be done anywhere and just a few can really fatigue your leg and hip muscles.

• Advanced Bosu Balance - Bosu

  This is an advanced exercise to try once you are comfortable balancing on the Bosu. It is challenging because of the incredible stability and strength needed in one leg to support the weight of the whole body.

• Hip Adduction With Squats - Bodyweight

  This exercise strengthens the thighs and challenges your balance as you stand on one leg.

• Lateral Lunges Off Step - Bodyweight

  The step offers height to make your hip muscles work harder in the lunge.

• Lateral Lunges With Spiral - Bodyweight

  Adding a twist to the lunge works your back muscles in a different way.

• Stationary Lunges - Bodyweight

  A good exercise to strengthen the entire thigh, these are slightly less challenging than lunges since you are taking forward/backward movement out of the equation.

• Step-ups - Bodyweight

  This exercise works each leg independently using your body weight.
