I have a treadmill and would like to know if raising HDL is better when
getting heart rate at certain target zone, walking fast for longer periods,
or just length of time is better for raising HDL?

Examples:

1. Getting heart rate to 80-85% for 20 minutes.

2. Walking 2 miles with heart rate at around 70-75% and speed mostly at 3
MPH ranging up to 3.5 MPH - total walking time of 45 minutes including warm
up and cool down.

3. Walking 3 miles with lower heart rate than above.

All 3 routines above with a goal of doing every day.
