What are Quads?
The quads or the quadriceps are a group of four muscles in the front of your thigh that help you straighten your leg. They help you walk, run, jump, and stand up. These muscles help lift your leg and help keep your knee strong. You can make your quads stronger by doing squats, lunges, and other leg exercises. The quads help you run faster and keep your legs safe from injury.
