STS cardio with intervals

[littlebit0205]

I've always heard that interval training burns more calories than steady state aerobics. Is this true? Also can intervals with light weights be done for cardio during STS? I know muscles need recovery time but will 5 lb weights inhibit recovery?

Not Cathe but I think interval work outs are said to burn a larger percentage of fat then steady state but not more calories.

I have a workout program where a cardio/weight interval w/o is used the day after lifting w/no rest days between the two. I've also seen Cathe put a regular weight work out and a lighter weight circuit back to back if that helps to answer your other question.
