Best Quadriceps Exercises to Build Stronger Thighs

Box Jump

With box jumps, you can improve strength in the lower body. The exercise can work out the core muscles, hips, calves, and quads. You need to start with a standing position from a stable surface. Both feet should be shoulder-wide apart. Next, bend both knees and drop both arms behind the body to be in a quarter squat. Swing the arms forward powerfully and extend the hips to jump to the box. Slightly bend the knees to land and jump down. Repeat 5 times. If you are a beginner, make sure to choose a surface with a suitable height to reduce the risk of injury. [6]
