I like these:
POPSUGAR Fitness: 5-Minute Upper Thigh Workout Essentrics: 6 MIN Thigh Thinners Joanna Soh: Inner Thigh Gap & Slim Waist Workout - 14 min I also saw this thigh workout (which I haven't done yet; I only previewed a bit). It's chaptered, so you could do the standing and floorwork portions on different days. Joanna Soh: No Equipment Inner & Outer Thigh - 24 min |

I’ve noticed my inner thighs becoming weaker and less toned as I age even though my legs have always been pretty strong. I workout consistently, Peloton cycling, Cathe lower body workouts weekly and walk a lot, with once weekly hill repeats.
After attempting the exercises in this Erin Stern YouTube video https://youtu.be/bbuNue3NwG0?si=cqtsls6o88_UqG3g and really struggling with them I tried to figure out why. The only thing that has changed over the past 3 years is my cardio. The majority of my cardio is Peloton cycling. So this past month I’ve been doing Cathe HIIT cardio workouts (mostly low impact but a little high too). It hasn’t been long enough to notice any change in my inner thighs, but I do feel that my inner thighs are getting more of a workout than when I’m indoor cycling. Kate—I’ve got All About Legs queued up and ready to go today. I am experiencing a flare up of golfers elbow and am reluctantly taking a break from heavy weights. Thanks for the recommendation.

Activating the glutes will also work the inner thighs (among other things) and will help you get the most out of your lower body workouts. Barlates has a tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjfz3Nuy5u0 I wouldn’t focus on inner thighs alone - I’d include it with other lower body work. Barlates has a You Build Challenge with 10-minute workouts that you can mix and match. Week 1 has mat workouts for inner thighs, outer thighs, and glues that work well together for a 30' workout or could be done separately. Week 2 has Cardio Thighs and Week 3 has Barre Thighs. Each of these has some extra work for the inner thighs and also works the rest of the lower body. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...qrgyVcm8TusaP2 There are a lot of other good lower body workouts on that channel as well!

I agree about activating the glutes. I have a lazy left glute, and my left inner thigh is weaker and less toned than my right.

If you want add-on glute activation workouts, Barlates has a Perky Lifted Butt Challenge on YT. The workouts have detailed instruction on glute activation and are slower-paced than her usual workouts - good for all levels.
It's intended that you start on Day 1 and go in order, as the workouts generally get progressively more challenging. The workouts are about 5-20' long (most are 5-10'). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...2K2EklPcxlqr7I I tried the first few workouts out of curiosity and ended up doing the entire thing. I didn't have lazy glutes, but I think that focusing on this for a while made my other lower body workouts more effective, and it also improved my balance (which was already good).
