Exclusive | People are running and jumping on all fours like animals for fitness trend that can give you a six-pack its not just for furries

It’s now hot to trot.A rising fitness trend has fans channeling their inner animal by walking, running and even jumping on all fours, a form of movement known as “quadrobics.”The unconventional style of exercise is gaining traction on social media, where devotees are showing off their bear crawls and cat leaps — often while wearing furry masks and tails.TikToker Soleil (@wild.soleil), who asked to remain anonymous, started doing quadrobics last year after learning about therians, a group of people who identify as nonhuman animals — not to be confused with furries, who both engage with and dress up as anthropomorphic animals.It’s a popular activity within the subculture, for obvious reasons, but the practice is not exclusive to therians — nor is it something every therian does, the twentysomething from Germany explained.“It’s definitely a full-body workout,” Soleil told The Post.“I’ve actually lost a lot of weight since I started doing it, and I really see the definition in my body.

I started getting a six-pack.”The therian content creator admitted that she is “still not very good” at quadrobics, despite doing the workout for a year, saying it is “very, very complicated.”“Try [it] for five minutes and you will be out of breath,” she insisted.Soleil may not boast the highest jumps or the fastest sprints, but she has created a niche for herself on TikTok by combining her love of travel and nature with quadrobics.She spends hours hiking in Southern Germany and Austria in search of the perfect backdrops for her videos.Although she feels most connected to ibex, or wild goats, she wears cat masks that she sells on Etsy to conceal her identity, simply because they look nicer and are easier to make.It “definitely makes you feel like an animalistic spirit,” she said.The average gym-goer may scoff at the idea of wearing a mask and prancing around like a horse, but chances are their workouts already feature similar movements.Jarrod No...
