“Quads” is short for “quadrobics,” which is the act of moving on all fours like an animal. A lot of therian content online, especially on TikTok, includes quadrobics.
Interestingly, quadrobics didn’t start with therians. It came from people who wanted to move like horses—think hobby horse communities and similar groups. So originally it was more like a sport or challenge. But therians liked the idea of moving like an animal and adopted it.
Now, quadrobics is common in therian spaces online, but it’s not required or inherently part of therianthropy. I can’t do quadrobics myself for physical reasons, but people still ask me to. It's just one way of expressing therian identity—it’s not a requirement.

You shouldn’t have to hide who you are we should be able to do what we please but society is harsh and forces these things upon people

you should feel proud of yourself for who you are and not feeling ashamed of being a therian, there should be no therian haters but there are going to be haters

Quads is short for quadobics and it’s really fun, but sometimes it can hurt your wrists and knees and ect. I have some advice for wrists tho, wear a glove to not only help your wrists, but your hands too. It helps if the grass has prickles.
