Muscle: Quadriceps

The quadriceps, often called the quads, are a group of four muscles located at the front of your thigh. They play a crucial role in everyday activities like walking, running, and climbing stairs. Every time you stand up from a chair or kick a ball, your quads are hard at work, helping you extend your knee and keep your balance.These muscles are not just important for movement; they’re essential for fitness too. Strong quads help improve your performance in sports and workouts, making activities like squats and lunges easier and more effective. Plus, having strong quads can help prevent injuries by supporting your knees and maintaining good posture.Ready to strengthen your quadriceps?
