Sculpting and adaptations

Sculpting is the removal of material to provide a finished product or artwork. Serious, regular aerobic exercise, in sufficient quantity, causes the body to burn fat reserves for energy and increase the density of lean muscle masses as a result. The subtraction of fat, flab and the resultant tightening of the skin organ produces a defined body, one that has been sculpted through exercise.

What kind of resistance are you referring to? How do the muscle adaptations differ? I am curious and always willing to learn something new...
