    There are none.

    No exercise will reduce the fat on your inner thighs. Squating is a great strength exercise, but it will not reduce the fat on your inner thighs. No exercise will, it's not possible. Strength training in general is beneficial and you should do some if you can, but it won't reduce the fat on your inner thighs.

    Losing body fat with a calorie deficit is the only way to do that. There may be genetic factors that limit how much fat you can lose from that part of your body.

    There is no exercise that will help. It's best to find exercise you really enjoy and want to do, rather than exercising one part of your body for something that can never work.

    I use Bodylastics bands and I use #8 to #11 bands for high reps. I would think a medium band if your legs are stronger and build up from there.

    Exercising using elastic band will help you a great deal in reducing outer thighs. You first need to stand in a straight position. Keep a dumbbell near your left leg. Now, tie one end of an elastic band to the dumbbell and its other end, to your right leg. Move your right leg in an inward and outward motion. Repeat this step 10 times. Try this.

    For barbell squats, try moving your legs to similar position you would do sumo deadlifts with.

    All with weights or resistance (like weight lifting, not some teeny weight):

    #1 The one mentioned earlier that is side-lying with the other leg bent and that foot on the floor.

    #2 Sit with legs straight out and together. Turn rt leg and foot outward. Lift that leg (this works part of the quads, too, but in that nice line that may as well be inner thighs).

    #3 Lie on back and bring legs together straight up. Open wide :D Close. With weights. Don't hurt your tendons by trying too heavy at first.

    #4 Weighted ballet moves. Turned out (just reasonably) and to the front. Lift high! (This is another that adds quads, in a good way).

    Once you hit your max, you'll need to find cables at a gym to get enough resistance, but you'll notice effects long before that if you have reasonably heavy home weights/bands. If you don't see a difference, it's because of your fat layer. But there will be one :)
