    +1 on this...

    Squats. Deadlifts. Lunges.

    Like, focusing more on those cos we are usually..quad dominant or? Cos if it's "spot reduce" that won't happen.

    Now, besides the above..try them all with a sumo position,at least for me it makes a difference :3
    Can't do lunges for my left knee,I do wide stance squats,not sumo but def not with my feet pointing straight.

    Unless her concern with her thighs is extra fat, which won't go away without a calorie deficit. :+1:

    Thanks everyone...its just when I squat I don't ever feel it working my inner thighs.. Even the next day I'm not "sore" ..I know I can't spot reduce.. But I want to make sure I'm hitting all my muscles..

    As well as sumo squats try the leg press with a wide stance toes turned out, I call it frog presses :p silly name but it'll hit your inner thigh.

    Fair. I guess I assume that people are eating at a deficit.

    From my physical therapist, I do a bridge (not a yoga bridge) where I grip a pillow between my knees and hold for 10 seconds as I do the bridge. If you grip hard, you definitely feel it working the inner thigh muscles, plus the bridge works a lot of other stuff too. You can reverse it and do outer thigh by tying a band around your knees and pressing outwards as you bridge; that one is also from my PT.

    Soreness isn't a good way to judge workouts. More on that here

    Avoid designing your own program. Best thing to do is follow a good, pro-designed strength program, like NROL, Stronglifts, or a personal trainer's plan. If you don't have much equipment, try the Nerd Fitness program.

    Walking barbell lunge, reverse barbell lunge, Barbell step-ups, Single-leg leg press. Add some of that to your squats, presses, and deads, your inner thighs will get plenty of work.
    Most women's issue with their thighs is excess fat. You can fix that with your diet.

    You could try something like this:

    I do similar for warmup and working on my weak right adductor.
