Tips! =^w^= 1. CURL YOUR FINGERS!! If you don’t, you could risk bending and even breaking your fingers. Although, don’t tuck in your thumb, as you could risk crushing your thumb. (If you cannot curl your fingers, simply flat handed will work as well) 2. Wear light, comfortable clothing, especially in the summer. 3. Stay hydrated, especially when doing quads outside during warm and/or sunny days. 4. If you are wearing gear, make sure it is completely secure, so it doesn’t fall off, break, or get lost. 5. If you use real fur tails, be extra careful when doing quads around/in water! Real tails are a pain to clean, and getting water in them can cause them to get moldy. 6. Stretch beforehand! Stretching reduces your risk of injury, and makes you more flexible, allowing for smoother and easier quads. 7. Try and keep your back as flat as possible. This reduces the chance of back injury and pain, and makes the movement more realistic. 8. Keep your head up for visibility, so you don’t run into something or get hurt because you weren’t looking. 9. Always, always have a phone or another person nearby. This allows you to call for help when you need it. It’s especially useful when you injure yourself, and are unable to get help alone. 10. When jumping, bend your elbows to reduce the impact and pressure. This will decrease the risk of injury, such as breaking or dislocating your arms. Stay safe, and have fun! :3 ❤️

my mom said if i curl my fingers, i will most definintly crush them on accident, it kinda hurts doing it with curled fingers, plus im much faster with flat hands

[@Whyamiawakeat3am]

@@carynn3496 Ah, in that case, curled fingers aren’t for you, and flat hands work best for you. Whatever is most comfortable :3

[@duncanprocter7093]

@@carynn3496that’s fine. Just as long as you don’t break your fingers by bending them too far. 😊😂

[@Pace_BkDk_Stan]

this is a real good tut! especially the stretching part cause most people forget this or don't know how to do it^^

[@MoonlitFangz]

Stretching tuts aren’t necessarily good- creeps use them in gross ways, just stretch however it feels nice and avoid posting them 😭

[@Itz_GloomyYT]

@@MoonlitFangzI think they ment Like The stretches for a warm up !!

Yea I have to admit sometimes I forget to stretch too 😅

I love how you did lesson plan, it seemed like an actual quads school!!

[@Panensi]

I couldn’t understand the running with other tutorials, but this one felt so natural! Thank you!

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Glad I could help

[@CloudyyMM2]

Bro, that jump at the start was so smooth!! Teach me the ways of the smooth quads 😭🙏

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

You must… ✨float✨ Be as light on your feet as physically possible ^^

I love the fact you acknowledged that trotting is hard!! The make it look so easy, but it’s so hard to get my body to listen! Thx for the running one! I’ve tried running, but every time I throw my feet up over my head and faceplant on the ground 😭 I’m slowly figuring ou Quadrobics as I’m only starting when I’m older(almost 15) and I’m- not the skinniest gxrl.. 😅

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Just keep practicing ❤️ I know it can be hard sometimes but even just making the decision to start trying is a huge step! If you don’t want to worry about injuring yourself, do quads on a mattress so you can work on your form without having to worry about getting hurt ^^

[@Amethyst_Za_Cat]

@@salamander_WolfaDon thx! 💜

[@Kr4ck3n._.Dragonz]

Also, just wanna say this, but for beginners, remember that running/ canter should look like an up and down motion! If it doesn't, then you may be doing something wrong

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

⬆️This ⬆️

[@Omes_paws-p3s]

This helped a lot! I took a year break from quads..I was going through a really rough time, but still had a bunch of shifts and phantom shifts and I couldn’t help but to crappy quads but I’m back now! And thank you for the help! ❤️🐾

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

You’re welcome! Just remember that it’s okay to take breaks if you need to, we’ve all been at the same place

[@chaoticartist714]

I really like this video 😭 I started doing quads a few months ago, and when I started, walking, running, and small jumps came super naturally for me. It's near impossible for me to trot rn, but I've found I can do a perfect pace if I don't think about it-? But I need to know- How are you so light on your feet? You look so graceful!! I always land so heavily that I need to take breaks every few minutes bc my wrists hurt- But other than that I love the tips, this is definitely one of my favorites out of the many that I've watched ^w^

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Thank you! And I suggest practicing being light on your _actual_ feet before you try it in quads. It’s like floating, it’s hard to explain since it’s so specific. Essentially try to jump slower if that makes any sense 😅

[@BraddCameron]

The way you explained trotting was helpful!!😊

[@Mooncore-j4t]

Honestly one of the best quadrobics tutorials I have seen.can you pleaseeee make a jumping tut❤❤❤❤

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

I’ll admit, I was working on a jumping tut but I gave up- It will be finished but not right away :)

[@KalianaAyala]

Hi, I love your videos. I actually bought one of your masks last month of eBay. I love you so much. It's so pretty.❤❤❤❤

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

I saw your review video! I made that mask the day you asked for it :D

I don't know how, but when I first started quads, I didn't even have to practice trotting I could already do it somehow. Also really good tut❤

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Interesting, for me, running came easier ^^

LUCKYY I've been a quadrobist since February and still struggle with trotting

@@S1lly-AnimalHearted I heard it takes a lot of practice for some people, so keep practicing, you'll get it sometime :3

[@axitot5007]

I have poor strength and im scared of tripping over myself and hurting myself, is there anything that might be able to help me bc its been a dream for me to be able to do quads

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Try doing it on a mat and go very slow, try to work your way up to it and don’t over exert yourself ^^

[@Fern_leaf255]

How do you look straight while doing quadrobics? I always look super creepy when I look forward, do you just look forward and slightly down?

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

It’s hard to explain but it definitely requires a lot of neck muscles! If your heat is slightly tilted down, it can look very scary so I suggest kneeling in front of the mirror and seeing what angle your head needs to be at to make it look not scary :3

[@Amarah.Animates]

Do you do jumps if you haven't already?

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

I’m working on a jump tutorial but it won’t be out for a while

[@Fern_leaf255]

How do you do painless jumps??? Every time I land it’s always either super loud and I almost fall or it hurts like hell

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Try bending your elbows when you land, that might help ^^

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Ummm that is a very good question Probably call an exterminator

[@The_bi_therian]

What do you do? Pick them up name them and kiss them (I love spiders so much) DON'T HURT THEM AND PLEASE DON'T KILL THEM

[@_JasperOnPaws]

HEY ITS ME KICKSTXR! i really hurt my arms when i jump because i think i’m too slow to bend my arms?

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

Practice jumping on soft surfaces like mattresses to start off. You have less of a chance of injuring yourself and you can get used to quads without having to worry about getting hurt ^^

[@Fluffy_Dino333]

This is for cosplaying purposes and not ruining our new generation by making them think they are animals right? RIGHT?

Omg same! But i act like a cat, i actually already do quadrobics and act like a cat since i was little, so my parents already know about it and they say i can do it when ever i want :D

Good for you guys! Just remember that being a therian isn’t just acting like an animal, it’s a deeply personal belief ;)

Don’t belittle yourself like that, you’re still valid, whether you do quadrobics or not ❤️

@salamander_WolfaDon thanks I just haven't done quads in a long time in years I really want. To do it again :)

[@wendaisevilbutcute]

me too but I can practice it! Any size can do quads since it’s a sport

[@keyraalexander]

Don’t say that your perfect just the way u are don’t let no one tell u otherwise

[@dharampal-yy4qc]

Am i the only one who finds it easy to trot i think its the easiest and best quad

[@skyfiretheagender.alterhuman]

(The comments are turned off on your quadrobics hunting one, so pretend I'm commenting there) This is so fun+euphoric! Since I'm not a wolf anymore and I can't remember my hunting 'lessons' from my past life, and I'm human now so I can't(well..won't) hunt real animals obviously, and never had my pack teach me in this life cause I'm dead and they're also mostly dead exept me sister-you get the point. +1 Sub

[@salamander_WolfaDon]

I’ve only “hunted” a few animals but I did almost catch a duck while some other therians watched ^^
