Hi Chris, I tend to think both are beneficial and should be part of a healthy lifestyle. I am a firm believer in strength training because having muscle becomes more important as you age since testosterone decrease and we tend to lose muscle starting at age 30, without exercising. Lifting weights ensures that we can be active longer and be able to live a independent life down the road and ward of problems like obesity, fatigue, diabetes etc. In fact, when done correctly, you can achieve the health benefits of interval training with weight training. I cant find a reliable source on the internet but if you do some digging, look up Arthur Jones and West Point academy in which he put young cadets thru an experiment in which he compare weight training cadets thru a circuit group and and those who did traditional cardio. Those who did the circuit improved as much and more than those who did the cardio in cardiovascular health. He did not call it interval training but when you are moving from one machine to the next, working intensely, you are essentially doing interval like training. So one could incorporate a interval training in cardio like exercises or in weight training or do them separately but I do think strength training and interval training has to be part of it.
