Walking to work is better. but if you have the chance to do the treadmill, do it once a day 30min to 1 hour is good enough, just be consistent, it really helps. Running vs. walking? Do the walkathon - fast walking, it won't stress your knee joint and burns calories really good. if you want to run, do it on treadmill.

It depends on your goals. Walking is a good exercise. Running is better for fat loss and overall conditioning, but is a bit harder on the body. However, many people run for years without problems - with proper warmups, decent well fitting shoes and socks and stretching afterwards, there should be no issue (unless you have very high arches or bunyuns, something like that). One thing running has over walking is progression. You can progress in running where with walking you're limited on how much you progress because you're limited by speed and time. So, you'll have to determine for yourself what works best for you in the end based on your goals.Most people find it challenging to bulk up even when they intentionally do so. You won't bulk up at all when only doing cardio, just maybe a little tone in the legs, so I wouldn't worry about it.

walking is a great form of low intensity exericise. it is recommed for those that are new to exercise or severely overweight to initiate the weight loss process since it's low impact. for those looking to achieve optimum levels of physical fitness or maximum fat loss walking alone will not do it.

I used to run on the treadmill but I hurt my leg so I've just started walking really fast on a high incline and it burns pretty much the same calories. So it's entirely up to you which one you choose.
