You may incorporate any form of cardio of your choice. Ideally, High Intensity Interval Training should be incorporated for efficient fat loss and to minimise muscle loss.
A good cardio workout involving jogging would look somewhat like this:
1 minute running and 2 minutes power walking, repeat 6-8 times for a total of 20-25 minutes
