What does going backwards on the elliptical do?

I have always been going fowards on the elliptical. Never been paying attention of going backwards on the elliptical. The front of my thighs seem toned but the back part is sort of fat and jiggly and they BULGE when I sit down which is so unattractive.

Will going backwards on the elliptical with some resistance tone up the back part of my legs, thighs, and butt?

    Elliptical Backwards

    Going backwards on the elliptical basically works the opposite muscles. It will probably help but I would definitely use a stair stepper too (:
