    I would say treadmill on a incline would be the easiest and stairclimber the most efficient. However, the elliptical machine works wonders on my glutes. I think swimming is more of an upper body work out but I enjoy it more than anything else.

    Climbing stairs is GREAT for glutes. If you can do the real thing , go for it. If not, use the "Gauntlet " machine. Skating is great for glutes- ice, roller or in line.

    How about alternating walking on a treadmill on an incline and the stairmaster? I think you'd definitely see results that way.

    Try doing some walking lunges while holding 10lbs dumbells. Kills the glutes, hams and quads! If 10lbs gets too easy, up the weight!

    Thanks everyone!

    I do the walking lunges as well, but I figured since I gotta do cardio anyway, might as well do one that focuses on my porblem areas!

    I really love walkign on an incline the best, I dunno, for some reason, its fun for me to alternate the incline, go from 5% -10%, all the way up to 45% incline for a few minutes, maybe do 20 minutes of that, and then 10 of the stiarstepper.

    I hate the eliptical. It makes my feet go numb for some reason?

    I start off at 0% incline going 3.0 mph for 3 minutes, then up to 3% incline at 3.2 mph for 3 minutes, then 6% incline at 3.4 mph for 4 minutes. Once I hit 10 minutes then I go up to 8 % for 3 more minutes, then 10% incline at 13 minutes not changing the speed nor holding on. Once I hit 15 minutes then I go all the way up to 15% incline but back it back down to 3.2 mph for 5 minutes then just work my way back down. That might sound a little confusing but it works well for me and has help me build up my strength.

    My ass (and heart) gets a beating when I run inclines on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I start at 2% incline at 6mph. Gradually increase every minute and hike it up to about 10% at 7mph alternating cooldowns for one minute. Be careful not to have a heart attack though. And be prepared for people to stare.
