You slim down hips and thighs by moving your hips and thighs. Sorry, there's no shortcut around it. Running, walking, climbing stairs, leg lifts, lunges, leg press exercises at the gym, rollerblading and ice skating, horseback riding, cycling... Any way you cut it, the key is move, move, move! And I don't mean slow walking, like cruising the mall speeds, I mean like speed walking. You have to move fast enough to get your heart rate going in order to burn the calories and tone the muscles. Go through a book demonstrating various exercises (or even YouTube) and pick the ones you feel comfortable doing and alternate them so your muscles will be constantly stimulated. Like, Monday, Wednesday and Friday walk/run/rollerblade for a mile. Tuesday and Thursday do leg lifts, lunges and stretches for an hour. Rest on Sunday.

The other thing to losing weight there is that, as a woman (assuming you are from the aay your question is worded) fat naturally accumulates on hips, thighs, and lower stomach as a preservation tool for emergencies, so it's really hard to get rid of. So in addition to the exercises, monitor what you eat and make sure you're not eating more calories than you burn. Supposing you weighed in around 160 pounds, if you rollerblade at a decent speed for one hour you'll burn up to 913 calories. Now of course, these numbers will change depending on your own weight, but that's just an example. 913 calories sounds like a lot, and burning that in an hour is great, but you totally undo everything you just burnt if after that exercise you come home and eat pepperoni Pizza (Pizza Hut: 203 calories per SLICE) and guzzle sodas.

So to slim down keep in mind: Calories in have to be equal or LESS than calories being burned daily. You'll burn calories doing your daily activities, sure, but the bulk are whild you work out.
