Thigh toning

I've lost about 2 stone and am looking to tone my thighs - will squats and lunges cut it or will I need some form of weights like the machines at the gym. Thinking about cancelling my membership and to be honest these are the only machines I will miss as I have free weights at home and run 3 times a week! TIA :)

You can build more muscle doing bodyweight exercises like squats/lunges/free weights. You absolutely do not need gym machines.

You can't spot reduce fat though, but if you can overall lower your BF % your thighs will have more visible muscle.

Fab that's all I needed to hear! Thank you, good to know about not being able to spot reduce fat, thank you!
