5 Best Thigh Exercises to Get Thin and Strong Legs
Leg raises on the inner thigh
Lie on your side on a yoga mat and extend your right leg to the floor; place your left leg on your right and hold this position by supporting yourself with your right elbow. Now lift your left leg, keeping it straight, as high as possible; hold the contraction for 1-2 seconds before lowering your leg and repeating the exercise.
3×10 reps for each side
Outer thigh leg raises
Outer thigh leg raises are a great exercise for targeting the outer thighs, hips, and glutes. To perform this exercise, lie on your side with your legs straight and lift your top leg up towards the ceiling, keeping it straight. Lower it back down and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.. Hold this position for 1-2 seconds, then slowly lower your leg back down.

Donkey Kicks
Donkey kicks are a great exercise for targeting the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles.
Lie on the floor with your knees and palms on the floor, your back stretched and still in a horizontal position. Lower your head so that your neck and head are in line with your spine. The elbows should not be bent. Now lift your right leg with the palm of your foot facing up and hold the contraction for 1 to 2 seconds. As you lift your leg, exhale slowly and inhale to return to starting position.

Sumo Squat
Sumo squats primarily target the lower body muscles. These include the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and adductors.
Spread your feet well beyond the line perpendicular to your shoulders, with your toes pointing about 30 degrees outward. Hold your chest and pelvis back and roll your shoulders back. Now bend your knees and lower yourself with your buttocks. Be sure to keep your knees pointing forward and your back straight. Inhale as you lower yourself and exhale as you raise yourself. Push yourself up with all your weight, keeping pressure on your heels, not your toes.

Reverse Lunge
Plant your feet firmly on the floor, perpendicular to your hips. Now take a long step back with your right foot. Make sure your back is straight and you are looking forward. You can place your hands on your hips. Lower your hips until your knee touches the floor; your left knee should not come forward and should not go past your toes. Push yourself up by pressing the heel of your left foot and exhaling slowly.
