I myself do quadrobics, or used to at least (I haven’t been feeling the best physically recently so thats why,) and I actually found out about therianthropy because of quadrobic TikTok videos a couple of years back. But i did my own research and found out what therianthropy really is, and confirmed that i am a therian, and that i also like to do quads.

On tiktok, quads is trending amongst therians. You cant look for therian videos on tiktok without having tons of quadrobics videos dumped on you. Which would be okay, but people who are curious about therians only see the quads videos, and they assume thats all there is to it. That’s also partially why some people think you can just “become” or choose to be a therian. You cant.

Therianthropy =/ quadrobics

Dont get me wrong of course, like i said, i enjoy quadrobics a lot !! It can be great for your body, (if you’re safe about it and doing it properly), and me personally, i would rather do quads for fitness rather than other types of exercise. It also can connect some people (like myself) with their theriotype(s), and its just alot of fun overall. However, it can definitely be hard for therians on TikTok who physically can’t do quads. (Now i cant speak for anyone else, but I’ve heard from multiple therians who cant do quadrobics that it feels like they’re excluded in a way, and i can only imagine that some of those people have been told they arnt real therians because they dont do quads.)

This isn’t exactly related to quads, but theres also the misconception that you cant be a therian without a mask/ some type of gear, and this is of course incorrect. Gear is just for fun/ self expression for many therians, and while most therians do have some form of gear, there are some therians who dont want any, and that’s totally cool too !! Its up to the individual to decide if they want gear or not.

So to sum it all up, quads doesn’t equal being a therian, and gear doesn’t equal being a therian either. Both can be fun and a way of expressing your therianthropy, but is in no way required whatsoever.

I 100% agree

I think quadrobics are super cool to be honest! I mean sure, for people that aren't built to do all that jumping and things it can be a little dangerous but all around I think it's pretty okay as long as you're doing them properly!

When I say people that aren't built for them, I mean like people who experience hypermobility are probably a little better at quadrobics if not at high risk to yank something out of place. For instance I have hypermobility in my legs, hips, and arms but I have childhood arthritis in my hands! So, while quadrobics is fun to do I can't do them often because of my hands.

It's sort of like you have to try to figure out if your body is okay enough to handle the stuff it involves, and if it can't then you have to stop no matter how fun it is. As long as you're doing it properly, there's nothing wrong with it and it's a lot of fun!

I LOVE QUADS IT'S SO MUCH FUN!
but I'm cautious with myself
(you should to if you want to try quads)
make sure you stretch before you do em!

I think quadrobics are alright, but it's not for me. I tried it before but it ended up giving me more dysphoria. My body just isn't built to walk on all fours naturally.

dustwolf can I join your team?

I am wrapping up and old issue that remained open on these forums. If there are people in the audience who believe p-shifting is possible and have visited this thread because they wish to see if anyone here has figured out how to unlock the secret on how to physically transform into an animal: Welcome! This thread is here for you!

As coffee so eloquently put it in this post, but perhaps lacking the due emphasis:

IF SOMEONE HAS TOLD YOU THAT YOU CAN PHYSICALLY TRANSFORM YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED.

People say those sorts of things out of a desire to feel special, better than other people and in order to control and manipulate people like you.

If you opt not to take our word for it, sure. What you believe is ultimately up to you. However given the amount of drama discussing this subject always entails, discussing p-shifting is no longer allowed on this forum.

I am therefore sealing off this thread as the last on this particular topic and adding the rule. This thread remains, as said, in the hopes that it may help bring those few who have been deceived, back into the real world.

imma give my useless opinion on this here, cause ive just found out what it is and my thoughts on it are:
i feel as if...honestly...even if you COULD....you shouldnt really mess with p shifting because, honestly, imagine the mental AND PHYSICAL toll it could take on you..
Plus,spiritual wise? everyone believes in different things spiritual wise,and are different believing cultural and religious wise...
WOULD you really WANT to find out The spiritual repreccussions of this?
but i guess it would be interest spiritual wise too.

I wish my body would allow me to try !

I feel on platform like tiktok some people think that being therian is just wearing gears and walking on all fours so there's a lot of misinformation I feel. But fundamentally there's nothing wrong with quadrobics !

I do quads. Its fun! I view it as excersize.
