    I'll probably be hated for this but....

    Please keep the advice in context though.

    Sumo squats while holding a weight is what my personal trainer has me doing for inner thigh work.

    I've taken three inches off my thighs but that's all I want off. They're 21" now. I love big, muscular thighs and think they look so cool. Don't lose too much in them. Better to build the big old bicep muscle in the thigh so you look strong and healthy. But, as you lose weight, you'll lose fat in your legs. Just don't lose muscle. The thigh muscle is so attractive. And be sure to build up the hams too.

    squat, and lunge, then squat some more and lunge some more... with a calorie deficit!

    This!

    I have always had big thighs until this time where I have been strength training - it makes all the difference...... that and reducing body fat .... can be done:)

    My brother is a gym junkie and I asked him what exercises I could do to work out my thighs.
    His reply was 'none'.
    I found this a bit discouraging, but I do squats for my bum and the leg press at my gym works out the inner thigh (apparantly) so that's what I'm doing at the moment.
    Weightloss is pretty much the only answer according to my brother though (but he doesn't believe in calorie restriction though, he just thinks you should burn more calories than you consume. i don't really care, whatever works best for you is pretty much my motto.)
    If you go to a gym try asking one of the people there what you can do to work out your thighs and I'm sure they'll gladly help you.

    Agreed! My thighs are always an issue for me as well. After loosing a few pounds, I am FINALLY starting to see them slimming down and I'm so extatic about it. - About 4 months ago, I started lifting quite a bit heavier (as advised by a trainer) and doing cardio after weights. It appears to be working .... slowly. My things are ALWAYS the last thing to go as i loose weight.
