Its quite simple after you do it a few times and there are so many types of exercises to work on diffrent parts of your body. You dont have to join a gym, you can simply purshase a video or dvd and do them in your living room.

For one, i'd stay away from doing sit ups and crunches. I have nothing against them, but they will build up muscle in stomach, making your problem area bigger rather than smaller. Instead, you want to do exercises that lengthen your muscles. Here are two that show results rather quickly and are easy to do.
- Windshield Wipers
Lay on your back with your hips, back, and
head against the floor. Raise your legs so
they are sticking straight up in the air,
and move them from one side of your body to
the other (aka, touch them to the floor on
your left side, then to the floor on your
right side, but make sure they don't come
slamming down, this defeats the purose of
the move) making sure to keep straight
legs. If this is too challenging you can
bend your legs to modify the move. This move
will elongate your obliques, and really tone
your stomach.
- Leg lifters.
Start in the same position as the previous
move, and touch your legs to the floor and
raise them up again. Again, make sure your
legs are straight (and even better that your
toes are pointed, it makes it harder and
therefore burns more calories.) You should
feel your lower stomach and thighs start to
burn.

Alin75 answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 1:46 pm: No matter what anyone says, the answer is really simple: There are no exercises whatsoever that will help you lose fat around your thighs and stomach.
To elaborate, there are no exercises whatsoever that can target fat loss to any area of the body. Sit-ups dont shrink your stomach, lunges or squats dont burn fat off your legs etc etc. Fat loss cannot be spot reduced, the human body does not work that way period.
They only thing you can do is go on a general weight loss program. Then as you lose weight (through proper diet and overall exercise) your body will pull fat cells from all over. Hopefully sooner rather than later, these will come from your thighs etc. Dont spend the next year doing crunches or twirlly thingies or whatever anyone might tell you to do. Not unless these are part of a proper training routine. These build muscle on an area thats all.
Anyway, here is a link to a site with all sorts of exercises. There are a bunch for the abs and glutes that dont require equipment of a gym. Overall though, going to a gym is the best option.

I'm pretty sure it's on this website, but it's from pilates. This site will show you how to do some pilates with and actual little clip. It's rite here ...
