The answer to this one is simple. Find some pictures of some marathon runners. Then find some pictures of some sprinters. Even though they both have low levels of bodyfat the sprinters have more muscle. So short hard bouts of cardio are better than long moderate bouts of cardio.

Perform short cardio sessions with intervals such as run as fast as you can for 30 seconds and then jog back at normal pace. Then repeat this every 2 or 3 minutes. This will build muscle for your legs and will boost fat loss. If you want a more intense workout building muscle on your legs set the incline level on the treadmill higher while jogging and run really fast for 30 second at regular incline level and repeat
