    Not sure about under arm but lunges and squats are VERY good for thighs :)

    These look good:

    Probably results in the area you want would be better if you do the whole body workout.
    Look here and see if you find anything you like:

    http://www.shape.com/workouts/bikini_body/ (mont 3 "ab tuck" is my favorite)

    Also self.com has good routines:

    If you like working out with videos than go to youtube.com and find some abs workouts. You need to exercise all abs muscles for faster results.

    The most important thing is that you do the workout every other day. Best results are when you muscles are kind of sore after working out :smile:

    Have fun :flowerforyou:

    Oh, and if any guy on MFP thinks that these exercises are for girl only he should try them!!

    Some of them are really tough. Keeping balance makes you stronger too.

    Hehe, don't worry, just joking :wink:
    But really, some of them are tough. Ex. mont 3 "squat with high pull" took me 5 workout sessions to do 16 reps in one go LOL

    If your at a gym...best inner thigh workouts are abductor style machines mixed with good cardio. With arms you should do the whole arm as to insure you don't injure. My wife worries about "bat wings" so I take her with me on my arm days and keep her workout light. Good cardio will take any fat off

    My husband says the same thing about cardio taking the fat off, and that is soooo not the case for me. I've been busting my butt for the last month and I'm losing inches from everywhere but my belly! It's like all the fat is just traveling to my belly.

    Crunching to the side works innner and outer obliques. Lie flat on back, rock your legs to the opposite side of the way you turn your arms. You can do these in a seated position to. My favorite arm excericse that is killer (don't worry if you can only do 5 reps to start) is using your body weight as resistance. You use a workout bench or the bathroom sink or any sturdy safe support and grasp it. Make sure your feet are placed together in front of you and your knees are bent. (your backk should be to the object) and then just lower and raise your body with your arms, keeping legs firm and in place.

    Old school works fo rinner thighs. You can do these with no support or using the wall as support. Simply slightly bend knee and raise the leg not next to the wall out, keep it straight and at an angle, hold it to count of 3 and then lower it, do like 3 sets of 8-10 (more if your legs are pretty tone to start). Do this on both side, and you can do each leg to the back as well give you a total inner thigh workout.
