Our Top 10 Thigh Exercises
Slide 1 of 12
Stronger, longer, leaner thighs - yup, we can help you get those. Here, our best upper-leg-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.

8/22/2011 02:45:34 PM Report Abusethanks so much for this article on exercises for thighs Thighs are such a problem area for so many people (including me!). I wish there were more useful articles like this one out there. I especially like this exercise because it can be done at home. all you need is a ball and not necessarily have to go to the gym.
6/6/2011 10:47:43 PM Report Abusehow often should someone do this workouts?
5/3/2011 01:07:53 AM Report AbuseI see that many people are complaining about not being able to print all the slides like we used to be able to BUT I just hit the printer button and when the other window pops up there is still a PRINT ALL SLIDES option. It just opens in another window. I hope that helps everyone!
3/1/2011 10:42:04 AM Report AbuseI agree with the others Fitness, I am so sick and tired of getting excited about a workout and wanting to print it out only to find it has to be done 1 at at time. As the others said you used to be able to print everything at once. Guess I will head over to Women's Health magazine, Prevention or the numerous other fitness sites that allow you to print a whole workout.
