Not really lifting any heavy weight yet.
Only doing shoulders and Chest.....

Unless you have some kind of injury, I would stay away from cardio machines. Try running outside... and run hard.

I tried run outside on the street before.
I could do 30~45 mins too, But its just so cold outside these days.
I guess I'll try that in mid March, when its not too cold outside.

The way it was explained to me was low-medium burns the fat and hard burns what you ate.

Best way to maximize your fat-burn from walking would be to do it first thing in the morning before breakfast so your body has to get it's energy from converting fat. But work too hard and you could start converting muscle to energy and negatively impact your gains from weight training.

Also you can't just get rid of fat in a target area. You hit it right on the nose when you said that to get rid of it you have to body fat percentage so don't forget about working out the rest of your body to convert other fat storages to muscle as well. Not to mention looking like a top-heavy ape is retarded...

Yea, i read some articles having same point as you said.
Fat-burn before breakfast, it sounds very logical.

I am trying to stay away bulky shape. Thats why i didn't do heavy lifting.
Now, my problem is, I gatta get up at 5:30AM if i m going to workout before breakfast.
Maybe I should really give this a try.
