    Sorry, couldn't resist. Never heard about the cold skin/fat burning thing before. Looking forward to someone who knows something answering ...

    That happens to me too! Not too sure why, but I do notice that it is the areas that contain more fat like my stomach and love handles and such. Found this online, not sure how reputable it is....

    Your stomach gets cold when you work out because you are burning calories/losing weight. The fats and carbohydrates get digested much quicker and the blood begins to rush to other organs at a faster rate. Fermetation then kicks in and replaces the oxygen being lost from your blood going elsewhere in your body with lactic acid. The lactic acid will cause both a buring in you abdominales along with a colder feeling on the surface of you stomach.
    hope this helps, BSe
