Hi Jenny. Interval training is when you get your heart rate up for a certain amount of time, then drop it for a certain amount of time, then raise it, etc. It's mostly cardiovascular.Great intervals workouts are IMAX 1and IMAX 2. Circuit training is when you work a range of muscle groups in a specific order. For example, you could do squats, pullups, pushups, bicep curls, tricep extensions and shoulder presses one after the other for a full body circuit.Also another Circuit type is doing first kickboxing, then step and say last Hi/Lo or another way circuit can be done is doing Weights then cardio then weights again, ect., just like Cardio and Weights.For example circuit workouts are C & W and bootcamp. Resistance is when you mantain the effort during a long time.

Resistance training is a general term for working your muscles against resistance, whether that resistance come be a barbell or dumbell, cables, or a resistance band. "Weight training" is a type of resistance training.

And for interval training you would like to get your herat rate up into your anaerobic zone for those short intervals.

resistance training?

Yes. As are PH, Slow and Heavy, MIS (and other worouts like Cardio and Weights, Circuit Max, etc. contain resitance trainins as well). All workouts that use weights (or bands, or cables) for resistance are forms of resistance training. I thought my previous post was pretty clear?

Your anaerobic zone is 80-90% of your Maximum heart rate. For a 30 year old that would be about 152-171 bpm. The red line zone is greater than 90% of your MHR.
