[QUOTE="White Menace, post: 6888, member: 192"] Cardio is great for fat loss as it makes the heart more efficient at pump the blood. Better at pumping blood = More fat oxidation, as more oxygen can be carried throughout the body. Aerobic activity stimulates the Beta adrenergic receptor (correct one? I forgot) which widens the veins and arteries which is good for "stubborn" fat, as where you have stubborn fat, tends to be areas where there are a higher density of Alpha adrenergic receptors which role is to restrict the veins and arteries. I might have confused the receptors around, but the concept is the same. THink of those kids who were always fit, always sporty etc. they dont have stubborn fat, yet look at people who weren't fit growing up, they tend to store more fat around the lower back, abs etc, even if they did lots of weight training, and probably had a better body composition, but did little aerobic exercise.
