Help with treadmill

Hi, there's many options on my treadmill and I don't know which one to use.

There's one called "fat blast" which goes at 3 mph, and does various inclinations, so it's like if I'm walking on a continuous cliff. If I use this option, I burn 340 calories an hour, and I never run, only walk.

There's another option called "cardio burn". The treadmill is parallel to the ground (there's 0 degrees on inclination); the speed varies from 2 to 4 mph. It's 2 mph the first and last 2 mins, then varies between 3 and 4 mph ( 4mph= running) but I only burn 260 calories an hour.

So basil, which option should I do, and what's the advantages of each? thanks

AlexStrange: Oh ok thanks So should I use the fat blast option; where the speed is always 3 mph and the inclination varies, and raise the speed time to time?

Fat blast seems to burn the most calories out of the options you gave. And actual run for 25 minutes, burns about 250 calories, at a pace of roughly 3,200 steps of running.
