bodybuilding. Who is a bodybuilder? Chances are you

it can ease depression. But one of the biggest reasons for
doing aerobic exercise is the fat loss it can bring. Aerobic
exercises go on for generally long amounts of time, and in
that time you are bound to burn a few calories. When you
burn more calories than you take in your body will look to
its reserves, its reserves being fat. Your body will use that
fat as a source of energy, and this is how fat loss happens.

because without cardio you will not be able to show off
what you have gained throughout your weight
