## Intro to Quad Exercises

On each upper leg, your quads—short for quadriceps—are a group of four muscles on your [thighs](/exercises/legs-and-glutes-exercises/thigh-exercises/). They’re on the front of the leg, and they’re the area where you ‘feel the burn’ during squats and other leg exercises. In addition to improving strength and muscle tone, there are quite a few benefits to working out your quads, including improved joint health, better balance, and healthier knees. And the best bit? Many quad exercises can be done[ without any equipment](/exercises/total-body-exercises/the-best-bodyweight-exercises-for-a-no-equipment-workout/) or with the basics such as a pair of [dumbbells](/exercises/total-body-exercises/full-body-dumbbell-workout/).
