I have "thunder thighs" and I've really been trying to work my inner thighs a lot (I do upper body and core too so I'm balanced). I do cardio plus squats, high abductors, and leg press but I was hoping someone knew some other exercises I can do to really get rid of the fat on my thighs

    Do training for your hamstrings. I split my leg days in quad and hamstring days and I found tht really helped shrink my legs and reduce inner thigh fat :)

    Spot reduction is a myth. Sorry.

    True, but spot toning is real. Unfortunately, this is a difficult spot to tone.

    This.

    You're wasting your time if you think you can get rid of fat by targeting the muscles in that area. You'll build the muscles up, but the fat comes off with a calorie deficit.

    it stinks but...what you read in this thread is the truth. for women especially, fat on thighs and belly is the very last to come off. if you want to do something quick to tighten up leg muscles start lifting heavy. when i started deadlifting and doing squats my thighs tightened up within two weeks.

    What do you mean by "toning"? Toning either means building muscle - which may be what OP wants, but that will make her thighs bigger, not smaller. Or, it means reducing fat to reveal the muscle definition underneath - and spot reduction of fat is not possible.

    Cool. She can have great thigh muscles under the fat.

    You can build muscle on your inner thighs doing the things you are doing, leading to a firmer more athletic look. If that's the goal, add lunges to your plan. However the only way to lose the fat there is to lose the fat everywhere, and for a lot of women that is one of the slowest places for it to go.
