No. this misconception stems from the fact that fats are the primary energy source during low level aerobic exercise. However, more success is always achieved with varying exercise and implementing a weight training program. "Cardio" as its name would suggest is great for endurance and heart, lung a vascular health but weight training makes you body more powerful, efficient and maintains body density and structure. although carbs are the primary source during anaerobic exercise, the total calorie expenditure is usually higher creating a caloric (energy) deficit. meaning that the body continues to burn fats up to 20 hours after doing weight training. vs merely during aerobic exercise.
as always, moderation is the key and a balanced program should be implemented.
