I Was wondering which is better,

Doing cardio at a brisk walking pace for about 30-45 mins.
Or Running at about 60-70% intensity for about 20-30 mins.

B/C i heard if you do walking you burn more fat without cutting into muscle, I heard at a higher intesity you run you will burn some muslce in the long run.

A little advice would be thankful.

Lok up HIIT on the search engine below (fitbuddy).
Hiit is really coming out as a great way to boost metabolism and blast calories.

If you have a lot of fat you really don't have to worry about muscle loss.

there have been a lot of big discussions about this topic - look in the other forums and do some reading.
