Some quadriceps exercises to help you performing several daily tasks

The key is to perform these exercises at full range of motion from the bottom position.

SQUATS To start with one of the easiest exercises to perform- just hold your hands over your neck. Squat down, then stand up with full force to lift them until you feel your thighs and upper legs burn.

STEP UP ON A PLATFORM Grab a step near you and set it level with your knees. Walk up it one stair at a time, and lift up your knees as high as you can- this is called a step up.

SIDE BAR WALKS Pick up a barbell and hold it on your shoulders- then lean out for a few reps. Walk to the side bar, and step down- then repeat for several seconds- repeating these motions with a light weight and a heavier weight will work your legs.

🧢

LUNGES These are an excellent exercise for working your whole leg, thighs and glutes- stand with a very light weight in your hands, close your back leg on the floor- and start to bring your front leg forward- make sure that you are keeping your back leg straight and push your hips forward- with each step, you can raise your front knee up towards your chest until you feel a burn on your quads- it’ll be difficult, but as the weight gets heavy the burn intensifies.
