Maybe I’m being stupid here but it is walking on an incline better for recovery and calorie burning than running on a treadmill at a fairly moderate/intense capacity?

I see a lot of people just walk on a high incline but i never really understood why? I’ve always just done a moderate/intense 30 min run for a quick burst of burning calories. What is the optimal way gym bro’s?

I’m currently in a cut eating around 2500 cals —> so I’m trying to implement some cardio to burn off 200-300 cals to get to around 2200 as 2500 is pretty much just barely enough for me.
