Anything lower body. Lunges, squats, abs. Work on glutes, butt, thighs and lots of waist stretches.
A decent vid for some starting tips:

-Weight training is not your enemy. Do some squats and deadlifts, and you'll get a bigger butt and thighs.
-As for everything else, use advanced bodyweight exercises, like pullup, pushup, and dip variations. These can include working up to a front lever pushup or handstand pushup.
-I seriously recommend vinyasa yoga. I used to be so tight, but I can actually do a front split now. :P
-Bike/Swim. It's a great way to tighten your butt without harming your knees.
-Hill sprints. Another great lower body exercise.

Since the topic is there, maybe I could ask this, that's been on my mind for a long time.
They always say to do lower body exercises and all, but... Assuming one of my main problems is how huge my thigh muscles are, what do I do? Even my calves shrunk enough for me to notice, but my thighs didn't. Even my butt muscles are super large.
Mostly in the back, but in the front too, my thigh muscles are way too large, as if I'd been training them like crazy. Thing is, though, I don't do any of that! I walk to the bus stop, spend the day on my butt, and then get home and spend the evening on my butt. ._. I did "train" on Dance Dance Revolution last summer, but at some point, the mat died, and I stopped.
Imagine looking at my thighs from above, "vertical" being the face-back axis and "horizontal" being the shoulder-to-shoulder axis. You know how normally, people's thighs are round, or slightly wider horizontally than vertically? Well, mine are -considerably- wider vertically. As far as I know, that's what muscular athletes have, and I certainly don't want that. Even when I start depositing fat on the outer sides of my thighs, as would be normal with female-level estrogen, it looks like I'd need such a humongous amount to look okay, to the point that the rest of the body will not look okay anymore due to being overweight.
Lastly, you know how when you look at someone standing, knees together, in tight pants, sometimes, there's a triangle of space between the crotch and the knees? Mostly it's girls, because they have wider hips (and also wear more of those tight pants). I could have that kind of thing, because I do have hips - not quite a girl's, but there's much worse. But I don't because the muscles on the inside of my thighs are huge.
I don't get how I can have such large thighs (and butt, but that's not a major issue apart from my "pointy" butt) while barely moving around, unhealthily so, while the rest of my muscles are, yeah, bigger than I'd like, but nowhere as bad.
So, yeah, in summary... What do you do with annoyingly large thighs?

Thanks for the awesome video :) Apparently I'm not the only one wondering, so I feel better about asking my question now :)
