you cant till you stop running all the time, sorry but that is the main excercise to strengthen(a.k.a. make them huge) what i would recommend is to do leg lifts and cardiovascular for awhile then work back up to running once you are smaller or do what i do and run anyways, you only have so much time in life to enjoy yourself afterall , here is my answer to another(pretty much same) question good luck running is a really bad idea if you want to make your thighs smaller, squats as I know are the best but here is an article
once they are small you waould want to consider light jogging or walking but any long distance running is going to build them babies back up. I was (before my kiddos) very small we are talking size 14 in girls, 0 in women and then I went to basic training for the army... I was a size 7 afterwards simply cause my thighs wouldnt fit in any thing smaller. good luck, we all struggle with thighs
There are some people especially women who will tend to carry more weight on their thighs and buttocks than others and no matter which diet they use losing weight from the thigh area seems to take forever. In this article we will look at exercise thigh tips which will hopefully help to reduce the look of them but first of all we look at the reason why some of us have larger thighs than others.
The reason why some people have problems with their thighs compared to others is all down to our genes. Our genetic make up will determine where the majority of the fat cells in our body will be placed. For some this means that they will have more fat cells around their thighs and unfortunately we can not change the number of fat cells that are present at various parts of our bodies. However for these people with fat thighs there is a chance to make them thinner. In order to do this they must shrink the amount of fat within the fat cells in their thighs to make the leaner and thinner.
There are 2 ways in which we can exercise thigh for getting thinner. The first is to burn the fat from all areas which will eventually remove the fat from these difficult spots. The second way is to tone and firm your thighs quickly with a thigh exercise. By toning the thighs you are helping to burn some fat indirectly and this will help to raise your metabolism because of the exercise you are doing which then burns more calories. If you carry out regular aerobic exercise and doing it correctly then the results should be soon apparent and you'll get a good ab lower workout too.
The best way for a person to tone their thighs is by doing squats. However some people believe that doing squats will cause their thighs to become massive but this will not happen if the trainer does not want them to have big thighs. You need to perform squats moderately in order to tone the thighs and bottom quickly. In fact any muscle when toned will have some slight growth and in order for the muscle to grow then a person would need to perform increase the number of squats as well as the intensity of them. So as you can see it is quite easy to control your thigh size as long as you keep your squat intensity levels low. However, if your thigh size increases then it is advisable that you stop using squats. Generally this is a good ab lower workout as well.
A good routine I would suggest using for slimming your thighs is to do squats 3 times per week on alternate days and start off very light by just using your body weight for 2-3 sets of 10 repetitions and then gradually build up your resistance over the next 3 to 4 weeks. Hopefully such an exercise thigh set will help you to get the shape you are looking for in an ab lower workout

Not unless you stop working out with your legs! This may be just your body time. If you are physically active then good for you. Stop worrying about the size of your thighs if it's muscle related. I'd worry only if it was mostly fat....
Pilates might trim you up if the size is related to fat and lack of muscle tone but it does nothing for genetics.

Pilates exercises, they are great for developing long and lean muscles. They are especially effective on that part of the body.
