To my knowledge so far, spot reduction (targeting a specific area of the body for fat loss) doesn't work. For example, doing endless amounts of sit-ups doesn't mean that someone will have ripped abdominal muscles. Obviously, body fat, cardio, and diet comes into play.
Now, my question/confusion lies in the dropping of body fat. I know that I'll have to cut down my body fat levels in order to be shredded. However, I'm assuming that my body will target a particular area for fat reduction based on my genetics as compared to someone else. For example, I've noticed that when I attack my cardio and diet religiously, certain areas tend to lose fat before others. In my example, I've noticed that my legs tend to get leaner before I start losing lower back fat, etc.
Does this mean that my body will follow a certain pattern of fat burning?
Is this due to my genetics, training frequency, intensity, or what have you?
