Best inner thigh shaper-upper?

Wondering what exercises people have found to be most effective. Thanks!

Yoga :flowerforyou: At least for me! Poses like crescent lunge or Warrior 1, and pyramid, are great for that area because you are trying to maintain even hips. You have to squeeze your inner thighs to keep your hips facing forward while your legs are spread apart.

You need a swiss ball(stability ball) for this one, but it kills my thighs each time!

Lay on your back and raise your legs all the way up, and flex your feet(so the tops of your feet are facing down towards you)
Toss the ball up and catch it with your feet *Don't bend your knees, and keep your feet flexed!*
Hold for a beat, than drop the ball back down, and repeat.
Do 25-50 reps-3 sets

Yes! Yoga is great as well! As a Yoga Teacher in training, I should have mentioned that!

I like sumo squats, step ups, side lunges, and walking lunges, all with dumbbells and with a weight uncomfortable enough to do max of 15 reps (per leg on lunges and stepups). I usually do 3 sets of 15 of all of these twice a week in addition to lots of other stuff. Deadlifts can help too, because they work the hamstrings.

Cool! Thanks for all the suggestions!

High rep weight lifting exercises (squats, lunges, ham curls, etc), plyometrics, and interval work (sprints).

Ballet Barre classes.

Strangely, I have found that lunges and squats are not helping this situation. I am in the middle of 30 Day Shred and there are a LOT of lunges/squats. Yet..this area is mushier than when I started. I am going to bring back more cardio. 30DS just doesn't have enough.
