I'm trying to tone my thighs and there's not much to find. I have jumping lunges, squat jumps and squat jacks. Help is highly appreciated

    Google Sissy squats, and goblets squats. I enjoy doing those. Weighted jump squats or Jump lunges are good too. There's really no way to "tone" any muscles, it's basically just Lose bf% and build muscle mass.

    Yup. I like these exercises, bc most of them aren't terrible on my knees, and I find it easier to activate the hamstrings with these ones:
    skater squats
    single legged RDLs
    step-ups (I do them low, but if you use a high step, your glutes will kick in more)
    box squats
    wall squats against a swiss ball, with a calf raise at the top of the movement (squeeze glutes at top as well)
    reverse lunges, with or without a slide (stick a paper towel under your back foot and slide it out and then back in)
    co-contraction lunges
    shelcs
    hip thrusts and glute bridges (quads & hams get worked as well)
    hip abductions (side lying or standing)

    I do Pilates and in Les Mills Body Attack, there are also leg exercises like squats.

    I also do the following exercises for my thighs and butt (light weights, 3 repetitions of six):
    - deadlifts
    - weighted glute bridges
    - sumo squats
    - walking squats
    - glute kickbacks

    I would avoid sissy squats- those are pretty rough on the knees. like- for real.

    What level did you do? I love the exercises in Level 1, even though I'm not even a beginner. It still kicks my butt!!

    I did level one, I did most of the moves in the modified version. (the sumo squat hops, I couldn't even do them modified)

    There is a YouTube video which has all levels combined into one video, about 2 hours total. It's not high definition, but 360 for me is OK.
