Squats are great. To squat- don't bend at the waist, bend at the knees and use the muscles above the knees to lower yourself and push yourself back up to a standing position. This will work those quads you want to strengthen and is your next tip for strengthening your quads.

Squat down for everything. Squat to pick garbage up off the floor, squat to tie your shoe lace, squat to give your kid a hug, squat to pick out a video at the video store. Anything below the waist you should squat for. The more time you can go up and down in a row the better. Like when your in the video store, squat to get a video to look at then stand back up to read about it, then squat down again to put it back then stand up to find another interesting looking video. Once you found another (on a lower shelf) squat to get it and repeat the process.

Don't forget to squat at work or school. Bend at the knees to get into your lower locker or to get into a lower filling cabinet. If you try hard to remember to do at least 20 squats a day you'll start to feel a difference in your legs. How long it takes to see a difference depends on each person and how many squats you do in a row.

Lunges! Lunges are when you go forward with your front knee bent and back leg stays straight. This tip for strengthening you quads is a little harder to do in the video store. But you can do lunges in the house or at work or school. Lunges work the best if you don't let your knee go past you foot. When you are vacuuming don't just go back and forth. Lunge, every time you go forward with the vacuum. Bring yourself up right as you come back and then lunge again as you go forward with the vacuum again.

Lunging is like when you see people sword fight in the movies. They usually have one arm up and the other one holding a sword. Put one arm up if it makes you feel more trained, or prepared for intruders. Also practice lunges when you are on a break at work. You may feel awkward at first, but get your work buddies to join you. As you break, before you sit, do five lunges with your right leg bent and then switch to five lunges with you left leg bent. Once that becomes easy, start with 10 on each leg. It won't take long for you to feel the muscle in your quads. If it starts to burn that's a good sign. But don't hurt yourself. Remember to get the best results, you need to keep your bent knee from going past your foot, or even past your ankles would be best. Find different places to lunge instead of just bending or taking a step. Lunge to get a better look at who just walked by. Doing lunges is a great way to strengthen your quads.

Last tip for strengthening your quads is to take the stairs. Elevators are great but they don't work your quads. If you work up on the 20th floor don't kill yourself going up 20 flights of steps. Take it easy and start with two flights then grab the elevator on the 2nd floor. If you want to work up to 20 flight of steps that would be up to you and how much you want to strengthen your quads. As you go into any building if you have a choice of stairs or the elevator or an escalator. Take the Stairs. Up and down. And try to get faster as the weeks go by and it seems easier to get up the stairs.

So to recap the 4 easy tips for strengthening your quads is to- Get up and exercise- Do squats- Do lunges- Take the Stairs. Enjoy becoming a fit person and strengthen you quads.
