Muscle of the Month: Quadriceps
The month of April, we are bringing back muscle of the month! The goal is to keep you educated on the body as well as introduce you to new exercises and stretches! Each month, take the time to try our new exercises and work your muscles in a new way that you are not used to. If you are unsure of how to do them, please ask our MOG staff for help!
The quadriceps, typically known as the "quads", are a group of four muscles that sit on the front of the thigh. The four muscles, the vastus medialis, intermedius, lateralis and rectus femoris, all make up your "quads".
The primary function of these muscles as a whole is to extend, or straighten, the knee.
Ask your M.O.G staff for help strengthening and stretching these muscles!
