Quadricep exercises target the quadriceps - a group of muscles sitting on the front of your thighs. If you've done one too many squats in the gym or had to climb more stairs than you'd like, you'll be familiar with the burn that comes from working these muscles more than normal.
I started adding strength training to my workouts in my 30s, and I've come to love it. However, I'm guilty of sticking to what I can do and working some body parts more than others. My upper-body dumbbell workout is a favourite, and I like to do core exercises. My thighs? Not so much.
