I'm just wondering if 20 min 3 to 4 times a week is alright (stepmaster) considering I lose fat very easily and i walk a lot during the day (I eat clean and train hard)

I don't know about you, but that definitely wouldn't work for myself. You need to switch up your cardio with speed, intensity and vareity such as jogging, walking, running, elliptical, stationary bikes, bicyling, treadmill,swimming.

If this is all the cardio you want to commit to at this time, try implementing the HIIT training for this which can be used with just about any cardio out there.

Do a search on the Fit Buddy below and type in "HIIT" it will bring up many previou posts about this.

Good Luck!

'Moving' is one of the biggest keys to success. The more you do this, the better results you will have in your venture(healthier and fat loss).

'Moving' creates more of a caloric deficit. So, if what you are doing is giving you desired results, then it is fine.

If however you are seeing no progress, you need to take a look at things. The solution would and will be to 'move' more often, and look at your diet. No matter what you undertake to 'move', diet will determine the results you achieve.
