They\'re all great, but it sort of depends on how your body responds. There\'s this technique called \'\'muscle confusion\'\' that says working your body out in different ways...like maybe jogging one day and doing the steps another day...is supposed to make the muscles react more and you\'ll get better results.
Also, any kind of weight training/core fitness-with the exercise ball...reps...doing those workouts every other day...they\'re pretty awesome.
You should try P90X and any workout with an exercise ball or resistance bands. Those are pretty amazing.

Combination for both Steps and jogging, with some sprints worked in once you are getting fit.

For me, right now, it would be #4, Treadmill. I would like to get an Elliptical and maybe a recumbent exercise bike, too. Because of some old injuries to my leg, I can no longer jog, run or sprint, and steps I have to take one at time.

All of the above. Depends on whether you want to emphasise the short muscles or the long muscles. Sprinting, staircase steps, lunges (runners do them--I don\'t know how) do the short muscles. Footy helps, as it\'s a long series of sprinting. Same with basketball. Short muscle build-up will thicken the legs and make one look muscular.

Long muscles, which most women prefer, include jogging, treadmill, walking, swimming, cycling. Long-muscle training makes legs look shapely but not bulked up.

Walking is the best all over, especially for toning but if you want to build muscle, staircases or steppers are the best as you can adjust a stepper to different resistance levels

There isn\'t ONE that will benefit you only. You should do a combination of things.

You should be doing lunges, squats, steps (staircases) and sprints.
