Can I do Interval training three times a week and do constant low level cardio on my rest days? Or will this sabatoge my interval training?
Answer: I wont sabotage you fat loss and it will be good for your fitness. It wont be quite as effective as doing resistance training on your off days though
Sunday - legs and 40 min of low level constant cardio
Monday - Back and Biceps and 30 min HIIT (5 min warm up, 20 min interval (30sec interval-60sec rest), 5 min cool down)
Tuesday - 40-50 min low level constant cardio
Wensday - Chest and Triceps and 30 min HIIT
Thursday - Off day
Friday - Shoulders 30 min HIIT
Saturday - 20 min HIIT and then 20 min low level constant cardio
Is this program OK?

Personally, I'd think doing HIIT on the same day as resistance training is counterproductive. My suggestion would be to do HIIT on the days you're not weight training and ditch the steady state cardio.
