is using a stepper as good at calorie burning and toning the tush as going up and down actual stairs?

    I would assume that real stairs are better for glutes than a stair-stepper machine.
    But haven't studies shown that you get more glute activation on a fast treadmill than you do on an elliptical or stair-stepper?
