Squats, Squats, Squats: Squatting has to be your best friend on your pursuit of the perfect thighs. Although simple to do, squats are a great workout for building the muscles of the body. In addition to taking care of the thighs, squatting also looks after the hip and the glutes. T

Abduction: Here is another simple exercise to tone the muscles of your thigh. Lay down on your back, perhaps over a Yoga or Pilates mat. Now, lift up one of your leg as high as you can. Hold that posture and breathe normally. Take it back to the resting position and repeat with the other leg. If the exercise sounds too simple, add ankle weights and repeat.

Side Lunges: For the perfectionist that you are, only lunges would not be enough. Here comes the side lunges to give you a 360 degrees lunges workout, taking care of the entire toning of the leg. Start with standing in a position that your feet are kept wide apart than the width of the hips. Now, put one foot further on the side and simultaneously lower yourself down to the ground, while keeping your other leg straight. You will now feel a little stretch in inner thigh area, by which position you should stop, hold for a bit and return to the first position of rest.
