 One
of the best exercises to tone the back of your thighs is
the Donkey Kick. In this, you get down on all fours, and
then kick one leg behind you, all the while keeping it
bent at a 90 degree angle. An exercise that targets the
sides of your thighs is the L Lift, in which you lie on
your side, and lift on leg straight up in the air as
high as it will go.

Reward Yourself
 What's
the point in having goals if nothing is going to come
from it? You gotta reward yourself! And again -- the
rewards don't have to be dangled in front of you until
the very end; give yourself teeny rewards from time to
time for sticking with it.
Make a reward for every session, every week, every
pound, or every task you do/exercise/lose/complete --
whichever speaks to you. This is all about training your
brain. When you see the good stuff behind all the work,
it'll give you the strength to keep going and to stick
with it.
Don’t fall back into old bad eating habits by rewarding
yourself with junk food. Find something related to your
workout for motivation to continue.
