I know you can't spot treat weight loss but the biggest part of my body are my thighs. Does anyone have some good workouts to help tone thighs?

    lunges, squats, wall sits, leg extensions(weight machine). Inner thighs, have a tennis ball(or bigger ball) between your knees and try to squeeze it with your knees. Oh and running.

    Consider Wall squats and Lunges. These are things you can do at home or the gym with little or no weight and you can achieve great results.

    Get ready to feel the burn... Lots of nerve endings in your thighs. :)

    Exercisetv has some really great online free workouts. I've used alot of the leg ones and have seen a really nice difference in my legs.

    Try to find a BodyPump class, they do a lot of squats and lunges to tone your legs up! And then do running for cardio, to get to the muscle, you need to burn the fat!

    I've been to bodypump before - I never knew sore until I took that class! I need to go back.

    Thanks for all the tips, everyone! I'm going to adjust my workouts now..

    For the inner thighs you can do 'inner leg lifts', they do wonders!!

    Lie on your side at a 30 degree angle. Take the top leg and cross it over the bottom leg so the foot is in front. Lift the bottom leg up/ down. Try for 2 - 3 sets of 25 to 50.
