Does anyone have any successful thigh exercises they'd like to share?

    Side leg lifts for outer thighs, sumo squats for inner thighs, lunges for quads and deadlifts for hamstrings.

    Front/back/hack squats, deads, RDLs, or hill sprint repeats are all good for strength and/or hypertrophy results.

    This. Try holding a weight against your leg on the side lift once you get used to just your own body weight

    Lunges are primarily a glut workout, and secondary a quad workout. I often do my squat workout, 3 sets of ten lunges HEAVY, and finish up with a few machines. The lunges will destroy your gluts. Want a nice rear end? Lunges, nice legs? Squats, want a sexy back, good traps and a little of gluts, quads, and hamstrings? Deadlift.

    I love dynamic wall sits! Back to the wall, thighs at right angle to back, lower legs at right angle to thighs. Just imagine you're sitting with a straight back on a chair. Then lift up one lower leg so that both thighs are still at the same hight and the lower leg is parallel to the ground. Now move that leg up and down from the hips slightly for half a minute or however long you can do. Then change. Maybe do some slow squats (hold when you're down) right afterwards and do another round of wall sits and another round of slow squats. Go on as long as your legs will allow you. Enjoy the DOMs the next day.

    Squats (heavy, sumo, back - squats, squats, squats!), jump squats, box jumps, running, deadlifts and some yoga (warrior poses).

    Squats for sure. My thighs are rock hard when I flex them.
