Do you use a stationary bike for the sake of toning your butt? A stair-climbing machine to define your leg muscles? Cardiovascular workouts do play a central role in every fitness regimen. But if toning a "problem area" is one of your goals, you shouldn't look solely to cardio machines. You'll need to target that area with weight-training exercises as well.
For improving muscle tone, both kinds of exercise are important. Regular cardio workouts help decrease body fat. (You can't expect to see muscle definition if the muscles are covered by a layer of fat.) And weight-training exercises that work specific muscle groups - such as leg presses for the buttocks or leg curls for the hamstrings - can bring shape and definition to the areas that bother you most.
