Quads

The Quadriceps — located at the front of the thigh — are responsible for knee extension and stabilisation during squats, lunges, and step-ups. Strong quads enhance athletic performance, jumping ability, and joint integrity.

Exercises like front squats, lunges, and step-ups target this group, improving lower-body drive and coordination. Balanced quad strength supports proper knee tracking and reduces injury risk during both strength and endurance training.
