Quadrobics, a fitness trend involving moving on all fours like an animal, is gaining popularity in the UK. Practitioners run, trot, and jump in a style mimicking creatures such as cats or wild goats. The workout is described as super-physical and ultra-exhausting, offering a full-body exercise experience.
According to TikToker Soleil, who spoke to the New York Post, quadrobics has helped her lose weight and develop a six-pack. 'Try it for five minutes and you will be out of breath,' she said. While some wear animal masks to enhance the experience, they are not essential.
Sports performance trainer Jarrod Nobbe explains that quadrobics engages the abdominals, obliques, and deep stabilisers to support the spine and maintain balance. He notes that primal movement and animal flow are gaining traction as people seek more functional, holistic, and playful ways to exercise.
Quadrobics practitioners insist the trend is distinct from the furry community, focusing solely on fitness benefits such as improved coordination, balance, and strength. No gym membership is required, making it accessible for anyone to try in outdoor spaces.
