7 Exercises to Trim and Tone Your Thighs At Home

It’s hot now, but cooler weather is on the way. The upside is that there is less pressure to have a “bikini body.” The downside is that I used to feel like the friction of my thighs rubbing together could start a fire. That is, until I found the following simple, at-home exercises and got my thighs under control.

Squats and Lunges
The squat and lunge are two basic exercises with many variations, but both are considered to be the go-to exercises for legs and glutes. The basic squat starts with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keeping your back straight, push your butt back and bend your knees until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Do three sets of 10 to 12 repetitions.

Forward lunges start in the same position, but you take a step forward and lower yourself until the thigh of the forward leg is parallel with the floor. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg. Continue for three sets of 8-10 with each leg.

Side lunges are a variation where the feet don’t leave the floor. In a wider-than-shoulder-width stance, shift your weight to one leg and bend the knee until the thigh is parallel with the floor. Then return to the starting position and repeat with the other until you’ve done three sets of 8 to 10 per leg.
