1. Tone Your Thighs with Lunges
Stand with your legs in a staggered stance: your right leg in front of your left leg. Keep your toes pointed straight ahead and your knees aligned over your toes. Keep your chin tucked, draw your belly button in toward your spine and squeeze your butt and tighten your thighs. Keep your arms extended by your sides with your elbows tight against your waist and your palms facing forward. Bend both knees and lower into a lunge. As you lower, bend your elbows, raising your forearms so that your palms face your shoulder. Extend your elbows, lowering your forearms to their original position as you use your legs to rise up from the lunge. Perform 2 sets of 18. Lunges are ultra effective, and for this reason, they tops my list of tips to tone your thighs.
2. Take the Stairs
To tone your thighs you have to get moving and use your legs. So avoid taking the elevator and use the stairs to work your leg muscles and tone your thighs. Even until my 9th month of pregnancy I never took the elevators - I used my legs and for this reason my thighs stayed toned and firm. I actually enjoy the burn as I go up the stairs quickly because I know it is working!

Huma: My thighs r soo fatt I mean I see so many other people n they don't even run n thir thighs are perfectly tone If u go on YouTube n search ways to tone your thighs thir really good videos I watch them u should too...!!!!!!
CandyGirl95: i have a friend whos body is covered in stretchmarks and yet she has had no kids ? shes to embarassed to see a GP or nurse shes not that over weight i must say shes quite tall with abit of beef but not over overly weight , how can we fix the problem?
Baylie: @Eliza mine are too! I'm nearing 5'6" and 124 pounds... Although I doubt we're built the same. I have a longer torso than legs, so mine can look a little chubby if I don't constantly work on them. I think 21 inches for thighs is fine, most people's are bigger. I'd be a little scared if mine were 17 inches or something like that!
Soundarya: Thanks a lot! Great Article.
Hannah: This is what I've been looking for thabjs
Baylie: TIP: do not have your knees go past your toes on lunges. Even if you don't have bad knees, it's not going to make the exercise worth while. You want your weight evenly distributed so you get "more for your muscles."
Eliza: My thighs are 21 inches...I think they are so fat and gross but what don't guys think? I'm 5'7 and weigh 125
