    Default For a better ass: Elliptical or stair stepper?

    So I'm considering buying either an elliptical or a stair stepper to use at home while watching tv, ect. My main goal is a bigger, rounder ass. Would either of these machines do the job? I'm kind of worried it would just make it smaller. Which one would be better? I don't want to lose weight, I sometimes get told I'm too skinny already, but I'd like to tone up. I have trouble doing squats because one of my knees pops with every squat I do and while it's not very painful, it really freaks me out. So I'm hoping one of these machines can help me get the ass I want.

    stairmaster to get bigger thighs and legs for sure! over elliptical at least.. walking incline is also good for that on a treadmill.

    Yep. I had a friend who use to compete in fitness competitiions. He body was good but her ass never was. Then I ran into her like 15 years later and her ass was awesome. She ran bleachers. We traveled together and I wouldn't let her take the car to the gym( it was in my name and snowing and she took it everyday) so she went outside and ran up and down the stairs. Hopped up ad down them and ran as fast as she could one way stopped and touched the ground and ran back. All while I sat and watched in amazement. LOL. Skating is also good for your ass.

    What michelle said. If you don't have bleachers, or hell i'm scared of killing myself on bleachers, skating, either inline or ice will lift and round your ass. I love weighted squats, but before I lifted, I skated and it was great. Uphill will really work the gluteus, and I strongly suggest you wear all the protective gear (inline). Takes the fear out of it and makes skating more fun.

    IMO there is nothing like good old fashioned SQUATS to get a nice firm round 'donk.

    Yes, but squats freak me out because my knee pops with every one I do. I have a weird thing with my knees too, if anyone even touches them it grosses me out. I was looking to do something at home because it's hard for me to get a babysitter when I'm not at work, so I don't go to the gym or anything like that. I used to ice skate when I was little, and I loved it. But then I moved to this shitty town that doesn't have an ice rink lol. Anyways, I was just looking on amazon at these "mini stair steppers" and ellipticals and I thought that might make it easier for me to work out at home, since getting a sitter is difficult for me. And I'll admit I'm not a person who enjoys working out, so I thought it would be a good idea to get one of those little machines and use it in front of the tv to keep me from getting bored haha.

    ^^^^ Agree that squats/lunges & popping knees are not a comfy mix. I would recommend skating as well, & you don't even need to be trying the hardcore jumps & whatnot to get the butt benefits.

    Between the elliptical & the stair stepper, if you are having joint troubles I would strongly go w/ the elliptical. I have done both & the stair stepper is very effective but my joints didn't like it. I also found that the elliptical also gives you sm core workout as you have to keep it tight to remain balanced on the pedals once you kick up the speed.

    He says: You get more range of motion and hip extension with the stair master...Also, the mini stair steppers? Are these smaller machines than the ones we see in the gym?

    Yeah I think so. This is the one that I'm looking at. And there are a lot more similar, but this one had the best rating. http://www.amazon.com/Exercise-Stepp...pr_product_top

    Of these two, Stair Stepper would be the best! As others said, walking or running steep incline on a treadmill is a great way to achieve a firmer and toned butt.
    I have also had knee issues, most of them are gone after I stopped all running and started taking spin classes instead. We also have a spin bike in our home.

    I would go with the stair mill or strict incline on the treadmill. Squats & lunges are the bread & butter for ass training.

    You'll need to address the popping knee. Go and see a specialist and they will give you some rehab exercises to strengthen it.

    Otherwise use the leg press. Have feet quite high on the plate and push through heels to reduce knee stress.

    Also, use this machine:-

    If you sit forward on the outer thigh machine it works your ass but imo and I won best ass in tampa bay....running stairs, skating is the best ass. I haven't even worked my ass in a few years( I've been ill and haven't been able to work out like I use to) and just walking stairs at work , hotels keeps my ass good..
