You can also try doing some inner thigh exercises along with these exercises. Limit exercises that use the legs such as squats, burpees, deadlifts, and weighted leg machines. These exercises are great for toning up but they can also give you muscular legs. You don't have to avoid these exercises, just do them in moderation. Instead focus on exercises that slim down the thighs such as cardio.[1] X Research source Pencil side legs. Stand up straight with your feet together, then lift one leg up and back down to the starting position. Repeat at least 10 to 15 times on both legs. Side leg extensions. Take a resistance band and wrap it around each hand. Kneel on one of your knees, then lift the other leg up and back down to the starting position. Repeat at least 10 to 15 times on both legs.
