Try hiking, climbing helps the thigh muscles, and do it briskly.\n\nI had flabby thighs and muscular calfs too and this helped me.  \n\nAlso try going up and down stairs, again you are working those thighs.

the best way to tone in that area is to do 30 mins of cardio at least 3 times a week.  as far as exercises go for abs, do crunches with your legs extended straight up lying flat on the floor.  extend your arms above your head towards the ceiling.  raise your shoulders slowly upward, reaching your arms toward your toes.  do 4 sets of 12 crunches, during each set don't let your shoulders touch the ground.  for thighs lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor.  raise your hips up and down, tightening your glutes (this will also work your butt).  alternate lifting one leg off the ground, holding it straight out.  also do 4 sets of 12.  if you have any other questions you can e-mail me at emmalee_1633@yahoo.com.  i am a certified personal trainer but i've taken a higher position at the fitness company i work for so i'd be happy to help you :)

Stand in a low squatting position against a wall. Take a object like Pillow, beach ball etc Put it in between you thighs and use pulse like squeezes. The lower you stand against the Wall in a sitting position the better. It Willl wil work inner and outer thigh!\n\nor try:::::::: \n\nStand with your feet wider than shoulder width apart, with your toes pointed on an angle outwards. Hold a dumbell and let it hang in front of you. Keep your torso upright while moving downward as if you were lowering yourself into a chair until your thighs are nearly parallel with the floor. \n\nIf you don't have time to make it to the gym, this is a great exercise that can easily be done at home with an object like a jug of water.

Congratulations on making ther decision to do something about your health and fitness!  Th best way to tone and get a smaller butt and thighs is through diet and cardio.  If you would like to know more about losing weight feel free to email me or go to my group page, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bewellforlife.  Dedicating time 2 to 3 times a week to cardio will definitely give you smaller thighs.  To tone your butt, you should get on your hands and knees, clench in your abdomen, lift your left leg (with the knee still bent) and clench your buttocks.  Do this at least 25 times with both legs.  You could also do squats holding weights in your hands.  Trust me these things work because they are working for me.  Good luck in your quest to be well and healthy!

Skating, jogging, elliptic, walking, that is the best workout you can do for that...\n\nI would suggest a diet additionally but just diet... Will not work...\nWomen are propense to accumulate fat in the thighs, it is recommended to stay away from fat as much as possible... for many reasons, this is one...

Maybe some exercises that focus on your stomach area? Like crunches and it's many varieties. Check out the link I placed in the sources for some toning exercises that won't need any equipment.

Cardio exercises such as running, walking, cycling -- which burn fat overall -- can help.\n\nAlso do the full cycle of leg machines -- leg curls, leg extensions, leg press, and hip adduction and abduction.

You could buy a lateral thigh trainer and hopefully the instruction manual will be there tucked away in the box.\nHope that helps!

Try Pilates. They just tone the tummy and the thigh area. Plus you get the body of a dancer, lean and tall. rather then bulking up with heavy muscle.

Squats are great for thighs. Also for the inner thigh the best is doing basic legs lifts while laying on your side. There are lots of equipment out there but most pros will just recommend the basics to get the same results.

diet and exercise. More of the latter though. \nRunning is really great for toning up, getting great legs and your tummy will look fabulous. You need to cut out all sodas, processed foods, typical junk foods, etc. Up your water intake, eat 6 SMALL  BALANCED meals a day and do at least an hour + of excerise each day.

Here are some suggestions:\n\nOuter Thigh Exercise: \n\nThe great thing about this exercise is that it can be performed while you are just hanging about relaxing. It's good for rendering quick, noticeable results in the thigh area and also helps for those who get bored while relaxing.\n\nUsing an exercise mat on the floor to cushion your body, position your body sideways on the mat. You can choose to lay on either side because you'll want to switch sides after each set so that you'll be working both of the thighs. Let's pretend that you have chosen to lay sideways on your right side.\n\nLet's begin by properly positioning the areas of the body that won't be part of the workout so you'll be more comfortable while performing the thigh exercises.  \n\n- Make sure that your hip, shoulder and head are in line - or as close to a line as you can get.  \n\n- Next, bend the knee of your left leg so that your leg is resting comfortably beneath you.\n\n- Lift your head up and support it with one hand. Place your other hand comfortably in front of your body. \n\nNow, concentrate your energy on the left leg. Keep your toes flexed and your leg straight and lift your leg up off the floor about 6-10 inches SLOWLY.  When you reach the top of the lift, hold for a slow count of three, then lower back slowly onto the floor. \n\nWhen starting out, take care not to go overboard with your thigh exercises. Try completing a set of eight on each leg. As time goes by and your thigh area strengthens, you can up the amount of repetitions to meet your personal stamina.\n\nFor more go here \n \nhttp://www.thinthin.com/outer-thigh-exercises.html\n\nDieting would be the way to go also along with the exercises as well

Pilates - you don't even need to go to the gym to do them, pilates is a great way to tone and firm muscles without adding bulk - you will get lean muscles mass. There may be a class offered in your area or there are tons of videos that you could get: Denise Austin, Crunch, 10 Minute Solution, Mari Windsor, etc.

The elliptical machine is best. I reduced my hips and thighs in a month (working out on the elliptical for 25-35 min, 3 times a week).
