Quadrobics has joined the new fitness world as another fascinating workout trend to keep you moving. Inspired by the movement of four-legged animals, the workout regime involves moving on all fours, both hands and legs, to offer a dynamic blend of strength, agility, and coordination. Quadrobics is an all in one fitness program which combines aerobic exercises, strength training, flexibility exercise with a focus on mobility.

Quadrobics, also known as quadrupedal movement, involves using both hands and feet to navigate various terrains and perform distinct movements as a fitness goal. Inspired by the fluid and powerful motions of animals such as dogs, cats, and primates. These movements combine various skills, including crawling, jumping, and balancing, to develop greater body awareness.

A General Guide To Get You Started

Warm-up: It's best to begin with a thorough warm-up to prepare your body for the demands of quadrobics. Light cardio, such as jogging in place or jumping jacks and stretching, are ideal for warming up the body.

Quadrobics exercises: Start with simpler and basic movements, such as crawling and walking on all fours. Focus on maintaining proper form and balance while listening to the physical capacity. As you gain confidence and strength, gradually incorporate more complex movements like running, jumping, and climbing.

Cool-down: Cooling-down is as important as warming-up after a high intensity hefty workout like quadrobics. It's suggested to do static stretches for major muscle groups combined with deep breathing exercises to relax the body.
