Treadmill vs Stair Climber vs Etc.

Hi

I am looking to buy my first piece of equipment! I would like to get something that targets my thighs and glutes if possible. I know you can't spot reduce and that is fine, I am not looking to reduce I just want to engage those parts of my body. I am super weak and that needs to change! Anyway, I need some help picking out what to get, I am clueless. I will be using it in my living room regularly so size does matter. I have a hard time breathing when I exercise using my own body weight so I was hoping a machine might help take some strain off and hopefully correct my form so I can do whatever exercise correctly. I have tried exercising in the past with no results so I can only blame bad form. Suggestions appreciated, thank you!

So you want to shape your thighs and glutes, and make them stronger...using a treadmill.

How about a squat rack instead?

a treadmill, or a stair climber, or anything else. To reiterate, I am clueless!

I have a tendency to hurt my back and I'd prefer the equipment can go into my house with no trainers/gym if possible. If I can't achieve a better form with home equipment I will have no choice but to join a gym but I'm hoping there is something out there!

The elliptical is probably gonna be your best bet, since it's self-propelled....whereas, whenever I get on the treadmill, i have a hell of a time finding the "sweet spot" for the best speed to incline ratio....lol. With the elliptical, you just hold on, and push, pull, push pull, and pedal

BUT, definitely go somewhere you can "try before you buy"......so you don't get buried in a 3000 dollar gym accessory, get it home, and find you dislike it......
