Our Top 10 Thigh Exercises

Squat with Ball

When it comes to thinner thighs, there's no exercise better than a squat. I love this one because of its pseudonym, the Backrub That Fights Thigh Flab.

Do it:

• Place an exercise ball between the wall and the curve of your lower back.
• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Bend your knees and lower 5 to 10 inches, keeping your shoulders level and your hips square. Hold this position for 3 seconds and then stand back up.
• Start with 5 reps and work up to 12. Rest for 30 seconds and do another set.
