I can't find where this was talked about, maybe I'm remembering one of the bs magazine articles from the past. Tried to find some articles on the internet and they all said pretty much the same thing, 20-30min is sufficient. Low intensity does burn more fat calories but moderate to high intensity burns more calories overall. And you’re right about not only burning fat while doing cardio. With diet and exercising throughout the week your metabolism will get and overhaul.
