How can I firm my thighs?

The thighs, in addition to the butt, are a fat collection area. But don’t despair. The secret, according to Prevention.com, to thinner thighs is to stop obsessing about them and start using them. Four muscle groups comprise the thighs. The quadriceps (quads) are located at the front of your thighs; you use them to straighten your legs. You use your hamstrings, at the back of the thigh, to bend your leg. The abductors, the outer-thigh muscles, pull your legs sideways away from your body; and the adductors, the inner thigh muscles, pull your legs sideways back to your body.

The area that you mention, the inner thighs, is a particularly troublesome spot. Unless you play sports like basketball or tennis, which involve lots of side-to-side motion, these muscles get very little use. The result is that they lose their tone and become flabby. Fortunately, by cutting back on super-size portions and snacks, you can shed the excess fat. And with the simple exercises described below, which target the inner thighs as well as the surrounding muscles, you can firm these muscles for toned, sleek legs.
