way to improve fitness and burn stored fat. Cardio increases the number
of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled eating
plan - will cause the body to burn it's stored fat - including stomach
fat. In addition, Cardio helps to develop many of the major muscle groups,
so you get fit and reshape your body.

fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat ratio.
