sprinting
well today i did my first set of sprints and my quads are burning... but i was reading the forums again earlier and came upon something that i always knew but never really gave any thought to. to burn fat you typically have a lower heart rate than a cardio workout... yet any sort of elevated heart rate will help you shed the fat. i don't remember which thread, but someone said that sprinting helps shed the weight over lower abs better than normal running? how is this so if sprinting would yield a higher heart rate than a typical fat burn? please explain, oh wise guru's.

Fat is a substrate which it comes off from everywhere not once specific part that your working.
I think people usually get confused in terms on running. To lose weight you need to create a negative calorie balance. What your looking as is using fat as an energy source. I would say that trying to utilize the fat as a source really isn't the primary concern for most individuals, but rather total calories burned. Because in the end calories out vs calories in, is what is going to cause weight loss.

yea, but to an extent you cannot negate the fact that spot training exists. obviously it's VERY minimal on the core... but there's people all over that have very fat cores but have ripped arms or legs. but that's neither here nor there.
almost all of the fat that i have left is centered around my lower abs, commonly known as the spare tire. it is that entire area. almost nothing i do can target this. i changed my diet, i ran, i worked out, etc... but have never been able to lose it. i don't understand what you were trying to say in regards to using fat as an energy source as opposed to just burning more calories than you take in.

I will completely and always disagree with the fact that spot training exists. Fat is just stored more easily at that location.
I'll see if i can find the post i did on fat vs calories when losing weight.
