Are there any exercises that will help tone the back of your thighs?

Question: Not your calves, but the back of your upper leg, lol. Is there a scientific name for that? Anybody know of any good exercises?

Answers:
The name of that area is called the "Hamstrings"
If you do not have a weight set, do not worry, you can do all these exercises using your bodyweight.
Two good direct exercises for hitting this area are "Stiff legged deadlifts" and "Lunges".
To hit them a little more indirectly and focus on the "Quadraceps" (front of leg) do "Squats" and "Bent leg deadlifts".
You can do all of these exercises using your own bodyweight.
Go to bodybuilding.com to see how to perform these exercises properly. Good Luck.

Other Answers:
Lunges and squats.
