For fat loss i actually walk on a treadmill.

Set the treadmill on a 15 incline and walk at around 4mph for 30-40 mins. When performing this type of activity your body will use fat as a fuel rather than carbohydrates. It's likely that you're body will enter it's fat burning mode after around 15 minutes.

This activity will keep your heart rate at somewhere between 120-135 which is optimal for fat loss. I'm guessing you're aged between 18-35?

This type of training is also excellent for retaining muscle mass while losing fat.

i just had a look at my treadmill and i cant incline it. will i get the same effect from running up and down hills do you think.
No it's all about getting your heart into the fat burning mode. Anything as strenuous as hill running and your body will shift to using stored carbs for energy (glycogen), rather than using fat.

Intervals maybe your best bet. Short sprints etc..
