Answer:

Depending on your starting point and access to facilities, you could try using the adductor machine at a gym - increasing the weight resistance as your strength increases, or at home you could use various sized balls (e.g. tennis, medicine, stability etc.) or similar, placed between your knees and squeeze to work the 3 adductor muscles (magnus, longus & brevis).
Don't forget to balance this out (unless you have a particular weakness in the adductors) with working the other thigh muscle groups (abductors, hamstrings & quads)
Also, remember to use stretches for the muscle groups too, to maintain flexibility and prevent tightness.
