metabolic vs. aerobic weight training

Are they the same? Can anyone give a definition of AWT? I enjoy metabolic wkouts as they make my heart rate go up. I seem to have an absolute requirement of increased HR during workouts, otherwise I get kind of bored.

What are some examples of AWT and what are your favorites? TIA

Bumping! I would like to know what the differences are between AWT and metabolic workouts.

I have no idea what the right answer is, but I always thought of AWT as weight training light enough and fast enough to have an aerobic effect. Metabolic workouts may not be strength exercises, could be bodyweight or just cardio. So now I'm thinking AWT is a sub-set of metabolic workouts.

This article does a good job of explaining the differences. I always think of it as more so an era thing . Aerobic weight training was the buzz phrase now Metabolic training is. AWT seems more so like a reference to Circuit training where as MT encompasses a variety of techniques including Circuit training possibly aka AWT
