    They say squats are the best - prepare to hurt though! if you're doing them right you should feel dizzy in your legs :)
    Thighs are such a huge muscle group to work out with anyone!
    No pain no gain!
    Good luck! :glasses:

    With the usual 'you cant spot reduce' rider firmly in place....

    Running works wonders for my legs.
    Also squats and lunges are the ideal exercises for targetting your upper legs.

    I did 12 sessions of Hypoxi, and lost a combined 22 cms in diameter from my thighs (measurements taken top of thighs, under bum, mid thigh and above knee). It's bloody expensive and a supplement to exercise, not a replacement, but it definitely targeted those areas.

    £500 to lose a size in six weeks? are we quite sure hypoxi isn't diet and exercise wrapped up in a pseudo technological vacuum pack?

    Try doing the lunge matrix to target, quads, hams and glutes.

    Google it,lots of videos. Use as dynamic warm-up or add weight and additional drivers like shoulder press, if you have cables then you can add lots of moves for upper body while really exciting type 1 and type II muscle fibers.

    You should be aiming to be able to do jumping lunges and squats - plyometric training.

    I have lost so much from my upper legs it is untrue but now the legs are like steel and growing with muscle.

    entirely possible, but I had my measurements done afterwards by a neutral party and they still matched up. I didn't lose any weight, but I did lose diameter. And as far as I can tell, the rogue fat moved to my boobs. I wrote about it a bit more extensively over here:
