Thighs are one of those areas of the body that we complain about the most, but there’s a way to not only love your thighs but tone, tighten and shape them too. It all starts with a solid exercise plan. In addition to the video above, here are four other exercises to help you have your best-looking thighs…ever.

This is a perfect move for beginners, and we’re betting you’re sitting on the only equipment you need as you read this. Hint: If you have a chair (and your glutes), you’re good to go.
How to do it: Begin standing with your back to a chair, feet hip-width apart. While keeping your weight centered on your heels, draw in your abs and hinge forward at the hips slowly lowering your butt toward the chair. Pause right before you would sit down and return to standing while keeping the core engaged.

Form tip: Brace your abs during the entire movement to help keep your balance.
