A member asked:
Is walking on the treadmill considered cardio? i usually run for about 15-20 min nonstop on treadmill. curious if walking does any good.

Depends...: Walking is better than sitting, but if you are already running, then it would be less beneficial than continuing to run in your case. You could add walking at brisk pace between your runs--more is better in terms of activity.
