What if you did anaerobic weight training while reducing your caloric
intake. Would you not have muscle firmness then?

from what I have read, the closer you are to being in shape, the method you
have described is ideal. High intensity, that is a high percentage of 1 rm,
and caloric restriction. The bulk of the calories taken in shortly after a
training session.

Dude, you're going to question the Warm-Up Kid? He speaks with such
authority and certainty, it simply must be true.

Don't expect a response.

You need to do cardio to mobilize that stubborn fat.

Mobilize it?

No idea what mobilizing fat means (unless it refers to taking your
fat for a jog). But calorie reduction alone will get rid of fat, but it
will also reduce your muscle (which you can slow but not stop
by lifting while you diet). For most people (ie not into a specific
sport or body building), the best approach is a combination of
all three...lifting, cardio and intelligent dieting. If you absolutely
don't want to lose muscle while you lose fat, you're going to have
to go for a slow reduction, where your calorie deficit is just
under maintenance, so your body doesn't canabalize your
muscles.

Yes, how does one mobilize fat. I was under the impression that whether you
ran 3 miles in 15 minutes, or you took a leisurely 3 mile stroll in an hour,
it still burns around the same number of calories.

I think anaerobic exercise and less calories will still tone, but it
will happen more quickly by adding cardio plus the cardio gives you the
heart benefits.
 >> Stay informed about: Does One Need To "Burn" Fat 

Adding cardio will accelerate fat-burning and toning, plus anaerobic by
itself won't help the heart. Could still lose and firm by calorie
reduction and weights.

I prefer the Cardio Kid. Can't help it if i know what i'm talking
about, might as well help someone else.
 >> Stay informed about: Does One Need To "Burn" Fat 

It does, but the level of intensity correlates to efficiency of
fat-burn, plus the nature and intensity differences in walking and
running affect different muscles.

Adding cardio accelerates fat-burning and toning and improves the
metabolism. Anaerobic can still tone if coupled with calorie reduction,
but won't help the heart.
 >> Stay informed about: Does One Need To "Burn" Fat 

Walking or running will cause the same calorie loss, but at different
rates, plus the different nature of the movement and intensity affects
which muscles are used.

Adding cardio accelerates fat-burning and toning and improves the
metabolism. Anaerobic will still tone, coupled with calorie reduction,
but won't create as high a level of overall fitness or help the heart
as aerobic exercise will.

Precisely.
 >> Stay informed about: Does One Need To "Burn" Fat 

Anaerobic exercise is exercise
intense enough to cause you to exceed your anaerobic threshold.

Fascinating statement..
