Both. Kangaroos have long hind legs and short front legs.Their hind legs have large, strong tendons which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound higher and for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They also have elongated hind feet for bounding.
Their front legs are short as they use them to grasp branches to bring young leaves and shoots closer to their mouths for feeding. Their short front legs are also crucial for when kangaroos "walk". Kangaroos walk by pulling themselves along by their short front legs, and using their tail to help push them along. Their long, strong hind legs are useless for walking, as they cannot move independently of each other.

Why do kangaroos have long legs but not long arms?
Kangaroos do not need long forlimbs. Their "arms" and claws are used for grasping hold of food. When walking, kangaroos support themselves with their front legs and tail while they pull their hind legs along. Apart from that, their usual method of locomotion is hopping and bounding, and their short forelimbs are not required for that.
