Quadrobics - Tumblr Posts

a lot of people are just straight up quadrobists, you dont need to be a therian to do it, and its a good sport for exercise and muscle building. The reason a lot of them are the same is because the most common four legged animals pretty much walk the same, and therians reflect nature with more people having thereotypes of common animals. I also do other types of animalistic actions but it isnt rlly quadrobics as quadrobics, like any other sport, has basic rules (four legs, land/amphibious animals) that may not fit in with other thereotypes such as sea lion for me. I still mimic the behaviour but i dont call it quadrobics.

Here's a quote from Bishop Health (https://www.baptisthealth.com/blog/healthy-living/quadrobics-what-is-it-and-how-to-do-it#:~:text=Quadrobics%20is%20a%20full%2Dbody,trotting%2C%20cantering%2C%20and%20jumping): "Quadrobics is a full-body workout that combines various skills, including crawling, jumping, and balancing. People who do quadrobics (many refer to themselves as quadrobists) complete workouts that involve quadrupedal movements like trotting, cantering, and jumping."

I would suggest reading the rest of the article because it approaches quadrobics in a really open minded way and offers many tips and information on health benefits and stuff and its a really good article.

Don't come at me if you dont agree, this is my view and is based on facts. Have a nice day :3

tumblr keeps showing me therians quad videos, and all I've got to say is, why do therians all do quads the same? I'm not hating on them and I don't intend to start discourse. This is just coming from the perspective of someone who loves animals and likes to observe their behaviors. All of them do the same gait leading up to a fox's hunting dive. I don't know these people of course, maybe they have a disability, maybe they're not a therian and just doing quads, maybe they don't care if it's not kin-like, but to feel more like your kintype, wouldn't be better to accurately act like it instead of whatever animalistic behavior you can think of?

My guess is that it’s due to popular TikTok therians doing that and other people copying it? I see people wearing masks that aren’t related to their therio/kintypes, so it could be the same with the style of quads.

my friend fits all these rquirements, but im pretty much like the ppl u described first, skinny, young-ish, fit, but i enjoy playfighting with my friend, i enjoy running circles around him while he takes a break, i enjoy doing challenges he sets for me when he cant do quads bc of his messed up wrist, yall chubby therians/quadrobists are awesome, and i want yall to feel happy even though you cant do quads like other ppl, ur still amazing ppl and i love yall

i’ve been watching a lot of nonhuman shorts on youtube lately, and i feel the need to say that i’m quite sad (and then pissed off cuz of that) about how many of them are just skinny, in-shape young kids (around my age or a few years younger than me).

i wanna see my fellow chubby out of shape teens who don’t do quads that often, because of how out of shape and chubby they are, even if they love quads.

i wanna see my fellow out of shape teens who pull a muscle when doing quads, or are out of breath right away, or are completely sore afterwards for days.

i wanna see my fellow chubby teens who’s quads are clumsy and not graceful because we have all that extra weight on us.

i wanna see my fellow queer chubby teens who bind and who don’t do quads that often cuz their chest doesn’t stay in place right or stay flat and it makes them feel gender dysphoria.

i wanna see my fellow chubby, out of shape teens doing this stuff. or not even teens! anyone of any age! that isn’t skinny as hell and that isn’t in shape!

i just would like to see some more nonhumans like me please.

yeah, that’s about all. *goes to lay down in my little den again*

Question cuz I’m curious; how popular/unpopular are quadrobics on here? I kinda want to stop being on tiktok but I also want an archive of my content that isn’t my gallery- would you guys mind if I posted my old videos on here?

Got any tips on quads for a beginner? And I don’t mean “be patient/practice means perfect” kind of tips, just like small things that could help me improve. (And yes, I know about the bending fingers/elbows thing.)

Sure!! I’m personally not a very good quadrobist, I don’t do jumps, handstands and stuff, but I can give you tips on other things related to quads :3

So before practicing quadrobics, think about what animal‘s form you actually want to have. People tend to forget this and go with what looks „cool“ but it’s actually the best to analyze the behaviors and movements of the animal you want to be imitating first. (See this video for a good reference on the differences)

Secondly, warm up. I myself forget this quite a lot and I definitely notice it, but you need to warm up your muscles before practicing quadrobics. Push ups or any other arm related exercises are very important, as well as exercises for your back, they’ll also help.

And lastly, quadrobics is a sport but also meant for self expression. There is so need for it to look a certain way, to be „good“ or „perfect“ because those are just standards set by the community that are really unnecessary. Try as much as you wanr, don’t get hurt and have fun. That’s the most important part!! :3

I know this was probably not what you were hoping for but I feel these points are quite missed out on, so I hope this still helps you nonetheless <3

what really caught my eye on social media that most therians/Otherkin/alterhumans only get popular because of their quad for, high jumps,ect. people on the internet who give tipps for other non-humans, people who educate and/or help others with dysphoria and/or help them find out their theriotypes, make backgrounds, drawings ect. For non-humans should be more popular than those who make quads.

I'm not saying doing quads is bad since it also helps lots of non-humans to feel more like their kintype(s) or connect with it but most of the time in videos people do quads and get way more attention than people that educate others, help them,ect.

May I just comment quadrobics are SO exhausting like holy shit I'm just fluffing panting after doing them for a bit-

Even predators can have predators- and can do much more harm.

my human body cannot do quads themselves- and it just makes me uncomfortable as a whole when i try, but this video is important to listen to; especially the last parts.

yes- people can sexualize you in shorts and fully clothed yes- there are people who have a fetish for bare feet and armpits yes- two is better then one, think of your trusted one as a sorta account manager or virtual bodyguard (mini yes- even wwe wrestlers have bodyguards, no need to say your tough and can 'fight them off'- trust me, adults know how to handle screaming kicking people of any age, height and weight.)

i would say your good within the whole 'location identify' thing as long as your in a big city or place with lots of individuals and away from where you actually live- ex: parks, businesses, EMPTY parking lots (cars have much more identity then you think), docks, even statues (remember the city bit though- i heavily would not do if its a town or smaller as theres much more chances of you being identified)

**every community has its creeps, and we cannot stop it no matter what- best is to just not bother with that corner of the party.**

Was riding the bus home today and heard a pair of sisters fighting and the younger one randomly yelled:

"OKAY WELL YOU'RE A FURRY. YOU PRACTICE QUADRILATERAL!!"

And I was like quadrilateral?????

I JUST REALIZED SHE MEANT QUADROBICS 😭😭😭

Well you heard it from her yall, we gotta go practice quadrilateral!1!1!1!1

When I was like a child, nope.

Right now passing the 20's, fucking yes

lol do anyone else knuckles get hella ripped up doing quads? mine are like grazed

no, you don’t need to wear your mask/tail to school.

i wish young nonhumans didn’t feel compelled to be ‘out’ at school, especially when it’s a dangerous environment. i keep seeing posts along the lines of “wore my tail/mask to school! people berated/teased/put their hands on me, but it’s ok”.

no, it’s not.

like.. i understand a mask or a tail can be a very validating thing for some people. and i’m not saying NO ONE should wear them at schools. but i just keep watching this mounting trend of young therians insinuating you need some physical accessory or to do quads to be a ‘real’ nonhuman. and then it leads to things like this and it makes me incredibly sad.

i’d known i was alterhuman since late elementary school, actually. it’s a huge part of my life even now, years after graduation. there wasn’t a reason for it to be brought up, so i never did. it was a closely guarded secret to me, but it didn’t feel like a weight i was carrying. i always thought “no one needs to know i’m an animal if it jeopardizes my safety. so, oh well”.

“but, how will people know that i’m an animal?”

they probably will. they probably already do.

i was the designated ‘animal’ person my entire school career despite not ever handling animals in front of anyone. if there were pets, lost wild animals (baby rabbits, birds, lizards), or sometimes even loose livestock that got onto campus, it was always me who had to go tend to them.

everyone wanted me in their group in environmental science. if a project called for animal illustrations, the same thing would happen. it was certainly weird because i was also a ‘weird kid’ and not especially desired to be around outside of that, lol. but i was never harassed for it. it made me feel very validated, actually.

i had fun during gym running and fiercely destroying the opposing team in field hockey. i taught everyone which plants were okay to forage (and we snacked on them when we had to sit on the lower field for practice). every day i was hyperaware of the limbs i had that weren’t quite there. friends noticed my ears twitch and my nose wiggle at certain stimuli. i felt nice walking on two legs. i felt nice because i felt animal and i didn’t have to prove it to anyone.

really like… just do what makes you happy. i admire the bravery it takes to so earnestly wear your identity on your sleeve like that. that’s very impressive. however, there is NO obligation to do anything like that if you understand that there will be a reaction that poses a threat to you.

i want our kids to be safe, too. you don’t have to feel dysphoria over being discreet. sometimes it’s the safest option. and sometimes, that can be really fun, too.

study everything you can about your ‘type. wikipedia and animalia are good resources. ramble about them to anyone who will listen. jokingly refer to yourself as one in friend spaces. wear discreet clothes that remind you of your ‘type. find a nice private place outside where you can run and explore and look at plants and smell the air and feel like yourself. but by no means do you have to prove yourself. you know you.

this is a wierd question maybe but has a medical professional ever said anything at all about quadrobics?

i just know that in human pup safety courses they specifically dedicate a lot of time talking about wrist and hand injuries you can give yourself related to not playing properly and not using any wrist protection or support. MMA gloves are one of the most basic humanpup gears that they frequently stress is the Most important piece of gear you have because it's basically armor. and in humanpupplay, there is no running and jumping and parkour-type shit; youre just on the floor walking around or wrestling another dog. if its so easy to break your wrists doing that, imagine how easy it is to break your wrists with absolutely no protection whatsoever, running and jumping around?

(video from Gpup Alpha who is a humanpup educator AND doctor!)

iirc one of the entire points of the sport is to do it without protection to show off how adaptive or agile your body is. and honestly i think this is really terrible. this is a 1 way ticket to completely fucking up your wrists. again - if its easy to fuck up your wrists just by walking on your knuckles and knees, its even easier to do that when youre running and jumping and slamming your entire weight down onto your wrists without protection or support

i feel bad not having a real conclusion to this post. i want to say "go buy MMA gloves, go buy wrist support, go watch humanpup safety videos" but i am also not a medical professional and i have no idea what would work best here as protection against injury or longterm strain. maybe i'll say you should check in with a doctor before starting quadrobics and see what they recommend for wrist support because SOMETHING has to be better than forcing your entire body weight onto your hands and wrists this way (a fragile structure which has 8 bones btw!!)

be careful with your body. i dont care if you hate your body or do not identify with it. it is still a delicate machine that carries you through your life!!

Video 3/3 of me doing quads in my hometown. This hill was always fun to roll down, it’s more slanted than it looks. Doing quads just seems natural on it.

I can’t wait to do this again. The gardens in timaru are so pretty, and I’ve come a long way with my quads since then.

How I try and sit on things

but my legs are too longggg

I wanna be able to do quads so bad I always have it builds general strength up but it hurts my back and right wrist so much T^T

To be honest I’ll still probably try or just get something to cushion my wrists to I don’t damage them (hell might start a secret tiktok we shall see)
