    I looked this up last night. Here are a few things I found:
    Stationary biking 20-30 minutes
    Walking
    Lung and squat exercizes, but be careful not to do them to frequently or too long or you wil end up making them thicker.

    I am sure there are more but those are the ones that stuck out to me, I just googled it.

    You will not bulk up doing squats & lunges....everything will lean right out!! :)

    There are different variations of squats to do to target different parts of your thighs...alternate between normal & sumo squats. (legs wide stance, toes pointed outward)
    For lunges, try doing "around the clock" lunges.....in which your back leg stays stationary & your front leg does each number on the clock...do those 3X for each leg....
    also jumping lunges and squats are extremely effective, don't do these if you are just starting...work your way up.

    I do standing pilates and yoga and have seen a big difference. For the first time ever my legs don't rub together. I also walk and do areobics. I also do squats and lunges so it may be a combo of everything. I worked out in shorts for the first time yesterday!!

    Ditto!!! It also not only helps how your legs look, but there are huge benefits to strengthening this area if you are active at all. From riding a bike, skiing, hiking and so on.

    squats and lunges over and over -- and the best part about squats and lunges is that you dont need anything to do them -- do some in the morning when you get up...during the day when you can and before bed....

    I agree. If you don't get rid of the fat around the muscels then you can do squat lunges all day and it won't make much difference. I used to store a lot of fat around my hamstrings. With decreasing my % body fat significantly I don't have to worry about shaeffing.

    Good Luck.

    I know this is gross.. but in the mean time, if you just want to stop the chaff while you lose the weight and tone up to get the thigh gap, you can use regular stick deodorant to prevent rubbing.

    Haha... uh yeah! It works.. :]
