If you incorporate total body strength training and toning along with cardio and a proper diet, you can reduce overall body fat, and in doing so, tone down your thighs as well. Some inner thigh exercises are also focused on shaping your legs and toning down the flab here.
Exercise #1 - Squat
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and toes pointed out. Slowly go down into a squat position until your hips are parallel to ground and hold the squat for two counts. Go back to the original position and repeat these exercises ten times.
Next, stand with your feet apart to shoulder width, and hold a 5 or 8 pound dumbbell in each hand with your hands to your sides. Bend your knees 90 degrees into a squat position, hold for two counts and keep the dumbbells down besides your feet. Remember to keep your chest lifted up, shoulders pulled back and not let your knees hang over your toes while lowering to the ground. Stand up and squat down again, picking up the weights. Repeat this routine ten times.
Exercise #2 - Lunge
Stand with your feet apart to approximately hip width with a 5 to 8 pound dumbbell in each hand. With your left leg, lunge forward. When you lunge your right knee should be about an inch above the ground without touching down. Your upper body should be perpendicular to the floor and your weight distributed equally between both legs. Ensure that your front knee is over your front ankle and you're your weight is not on your toes, but rather, is on your heels. Stay in this position for 30 seconds and repeat with the other leg. Repeat this routine ten times.
Next, step to your right beyond shoulder width, while keeping your toes forward and your feet flat. Squat by your right hip keeping your left leg straight. Squat as low as possible, holding that position for two counts. Return to your original position and repeat this routine with the other leg. This routine could be done ten times.
Exercise #3 - Plie
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and toes pointing out. Bring your arms to your front, lower into a squat and hold for two counts and come back up. Try to go as low as possible without letting your knees go beyond your toes. Repeat this routine ten times.
Next, stand in a wide plie position and squat as low as possible. Stand with your back and hips against the wall and hold this position for a minute.
