Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Fast walking, say about 2-3 miles everymorning, would that be considered a good fat burning cardio program? I ask because w/me, i feel i get more outta walking. I feel my calves and entire upper leg gets a better burn than when running. Does anyone here use walking as their primary source of cardio? Thanx!

Absolutely, BUT....
You must get your heart rate up there.
Here's an alternative. My joints got tired of the impact of running long ago. So, I decided to walk on a treadmill. I compensated by going a brisk pace but increasing the incline for difficulty.
If you've ever hiked up a hill, you'll notice how hard your heart and lungs have to work to do the job, but you don't stress your joints anywhere near as hard as running.
Try that instead.

I walk during cutting, seems to save more muscle for me than any other form of cardio.

I run in the morning. But when on the treadmill I am usually walking aroun 3.2-3.5 miles an hour playing madden. It sounds silly but after a game (40 min.) I have broke a good sweet. And it's better than sitting in front of the TV
