Exercise for thigh strength?

I am 50 and suddenly realized I have no strength in my thighs. Getting up off the floor or from a squat is very hard to do. Will pilates be of value? I need something I can start at home. I don’t have a bike. What would be a good start on increasing the strength in my thighs?

No ab-strength, no lower back strength. How can I improve this physical weakness?

I have no “core” strength AT ALL whatsoever. I’ve tried yoga and pilates. The sad thing is the classes are a mixture of all levels, the even sadder thing is I don’t think I can even do BEGINNER yoga/pilate classes! I have no flexibility, I can’t do situps, I can’t reach my toes, I CAN do a minimal amount of crunches. Any advice on how I can increase my “core” strength? I am not overweight nor am I thin. Just average, slightly chubby with a small stomach. I’m 5’2 and I weight 120lbs. Any tips would be great, thanks!
