Sprints are a great. Lastly, jumping, squatting, etc are far superior to long distance cardio.Jump rope, man God I love jumping rope. Long distance cardio would be the last thing you'd want to do.

If you are purely burning calories, interval cardio training isn't the right choice. For calorie burning one should engage in cardio activity where your constant heart BPM stays in "zone 2" since that is where the average human body transforms the highest percentage of fat into energy.

Resistance and weight training is the key though as you stated due to the fat burning effect it provides under rest and the overall metabolic effects it has on one's body.

Interval cardio is for those who want to improve their cardiovascular stamina and capabilities along with potentially maximizing their VO2max values.
