Bodybuilding - Cardio, who needs it ?
If you look at losing
bodyfat from a mathematical point of view, it's easy to see that the bulk of
your caloric balance has to come from your diet. Ergo, the bulk of your caloric
deficit will rest with your diet.
So of course even if you sweated yourself out doing cardio, you'd be hard pressed to lose a good amount of weight if you ate more than you burned.
Logically, that all works out. On the other hand, I don't think anyone should underestimate the power of cardio in accelerating fat loss, especially when you consider that it can be made to work in more than just one simple way.
In short, anybody looking to lose fat cannot afford to ignore cardio but instead needs to committed to do both - watch his or her diet and hit the cardiovascular exercise hard - because one is contingent upon the other.
