Hello MFP Friends! I am trying to work on the "problem" areas before bathing suit season starts. I can't ever seem to get my inner thighs to tighten up. I have an Thigh Master, but I don't find it does a very good job.
I need some suggestions on good inner thigh exercises. Bring it on people, I want to look hot in my bathing suit!

    Use about.com and look up some Yoga and Pilates exercises you can do at home. Amazing for the legs and thighs. :):)

    I'm working on that as well. I have Brazil Butt Lift that has different exercises that tone that area along with Turbo Fire's Lower 20.
    You can get those lower body bands and do step taps, leg lifts, lying leg lifts. There are soooo many you can do. Search youtube or get the bands and they should have exercises that you can do.
    Good luck!

    Squats are AWESOME for that general area (even better with dumbells or weights, or kettle-bells)- Just remember to keep your knees above/behind your heels as you squat, and push up and into your heels as you squeeze yourself back up using those muscles. You'll feel it in your butt and hamstrings....Do 10-15per set.

    The other good one is "Scissors"- get on the floor on your back, and create a "hollow" position with your body- raising your shoulders off the floor, as well as your feet- about 1 1/2 feet off the ground. Then, do a scissors motion with your legs, passing one below the other and vice versa, squeezing your legs in the motion using your inner thigh muscles. This'll work your abs, too! Do as many as you can before your abs get too sore...

    Another one is this: Start lying on one side, but bend and place the top leg in front of your hips. Now, keeping the top leg stationary, lift your bottom leg up using your inner thigh muscle, and lay it back down slowly. Repeat 10-15 times. Switch to other leg....

    If you have access to a gym - almost all have the inner thigh machine - go for a weight that allows about 20 reps range
