I've been so busy lately I've been slacking on my workouts and developed a mild case of the bitch-thighs. Whats a good way to tone your thighs up quick?

lunges, maybe?

Leg press, lunges... dancing especially. After all the dancing I've done I think that's the most toned part of my body. Even without exercise my legs never manage to lose shape. If you don't want to dance, just do the seated leg press... and this other machine that sort of rotates between your inner while you a press it.

Guys in the gym usually don't use this machine, even though it's excellent for their legs; fear it's too girly. LOL After looking at that pic, I'd think so too, though... but I don't see what the deal with guys and working out their legs ... most casual gym goers seem to think it's a sissy exercise. Too busy working on their pecs and biceps I guess.

Do squats, and grow legs like never before. Proper squats work the entire leg, plus the back and abs to a degree.

I second the squats.. if you hold two dumbells even to the ground (just keep your arms strait) while you do squats your thighs can get MUCH bigger.

Squats, Lunges(stationary/split squat, front, rear, and side), and inner and outer thigh leg raises. Works for me:

Yea, I agree, no doubt Squats are the best for overall mass for your quads.
Leg press & squats work upper to mid quads mostly, while leg extensions develope more of the lower heads on your quads.

BTW: it's called called quads because of the front leg muscles above the knee contain 4 main muscle bellies.

Leg ext:

Just make sure you work your legs out for each head in proportion to how you want them developed. Another words you wouldn't want to just do upper quad excersises and leave out lower quad deveopment, or hamstrings (which give that curved strong look to legs.)

Hamstring excersises that work nicely are deadlifts (mostly for mass), hamstring curls (mainly for isolation and shape/development)

Hit your calves as well, it's way too common for people to have chicken sized calves that don't match thier upper legs.
