    All of the above. Also, I've heard Jillian Michaels' Killer Buns & Thighs is pretty awesome. I'm going to try it, but haven't actually gotten a chance yet.

    i squat like a boss and this video was killer. legs were a shaky mess!

    I like squats and weighted squats for it. Here's a thigh toning program I found and liked: http://www.realsimple.com/health/fitness-exercise/workouts/trim-your-inner-thighs-00000000035180/index.html. I added weights to them myself.

    I don't know what the exercise is called but you are on hands & knees and extend one leg out and do various moves with your extended leg like circles and lifts and such. Maybe someone else knows the name of this?

    I'm thinking the video below might be what you're talking about.

    To the OP, the move she does at 6:15 is especially effective.

    It's a win-win, happy baby, happy adult.
    I still do the swaying like I am rocking a baby...like when I am standing in line to check out.

    Mea Culpa. When I say "squat," I actually mean "low bar back squat." In my head, anything else is a variation.

    I find Pop Pilates videos are amazing for the lower body. Check out the videos on you youtube, they are seriously so good!

    I was just going to suggest this! Try the Beyonce one, or any of her lower body exercises. www.youtube.com/blogilates
