Here are a few simple exercises to improve calves, thighs and leg muscles.
1. To improve calves – stand absolutely straight with your hands on your hips and your legs together. Now keep your spine straight and bend only the knees until you assume a squatting position. Hold it there to the count of four and rise slowly, keeping your spine as straight as possible. Repeat this exercise at least ten times.
2. To slim your thighs – firstly lie flat on the floor and then draw your knees up towards your chest. Now push your legs up in the air and keep them as straight as you can. Slowly start moving your legs as if you are riding a bicycle. Do this about 5-6 times and then repeat the movements at a fast speed for another 5-6 times. Repeat the whole routine 5-6 times, including the slow and fast movements.
3. To improve leg muscles – firstly sit straight in a chair. Your back should be absolutely erect. Keep your feet on the floor and slowly stretch your legs out as far as is possible. The feet and knees should be together. Now raise your legs until your feet are off the floor and your knees are completely straight. Keeping this position, bend the feet towards you, pushing your heels out as far as possible and then point the toes down as much as you can. Do both these movements about six times each. Now relax. For the next step, raise your feet once again, and keeping them together, turn them outwards until the soles support each other. Then turn them inwards until the ankles and big toe joints touch each other. Repeat each of these movements six times and relax.
Before you know it, you will have the best legs in town

On the weight loss advice kc pretty much got it right. Its all in diet and cardio, since you cannot target fat loss through exercise. You need a negative calorie balance to lose weight, there is no way around that, and no way to lose weight from just one area. Any cardio is great (running, stair machine, swimming, ahem... biking, etc.), but if you dont eat right you wont lose weight.
As for crunches (which strengthen the abdominal area not slim it down), you should not really do them every day. They are like every other muscle, and require time to recuperate. Depending on what else you do (since many things overlap), I would say every second day. As for how many, that depends on what you are able to do. You dont have to go to failure every time, just do enough so that your muscles feel tired.

I don't see why you have to put any limit on how many crunches you can do in a day. You can do what you're capable of doing. If you know your body well enough, you can tell when it's too much. That's the best way to go about it, rather than limiting yourself to what "you're meant to do in a day". To get thinner thighs, you probably have to lose weight in general. This, of course, means that you have to do cardio and eat healthier. You also can't limit what kinds of exercises you want to do. All of these limits you seem to be placing on your exercise are counterproductive. You have to be open to many options and also for what is best for your body and for your health. Many exercises will build muscle and, therefore, cause your thighs to bulk up, although you may lose fat. Running, swimming, aerobics, and other high energy sports can help you there. Hope this helps!

well, my sis, who was in the army, told me it varries for girls and boys and age, girls generally about 50 a day ,(doesnt mean all at once) and guys generally 100. but than can varry with age, so like a teenager like 15 and up chould do about between 50 to 100. generally in that area.
and certian excersise would help with your thighs. also stairs, even swimming, besause of the kicking and stuff and probably D.D.R(dance dance revolution) which is and fun too,and alot of these are cario which is even more claories burnned.

My forum should have toning exercises for your thighs.
About the crunches, it really varies upon the person. If you're starting out, do 2-3 reps of 10. Then when that gets too easy, move onto 15, 20, 25, etc.

i say start out with 25 in the morning and 25 at night. then when you get comfortable with that move to 50. and so on.
and lunges for your thighs.
hope i helped =]
