No, the correct answers are B and C.
Aerobic interval training involves alternating between periods of high-intensity exercise and periods of lower-intensity exercise or rest.
Option A describes continuous steady-state exercise, where you are biking at a consistent speed for 1 hour. This does not involve alternating between high and low intensities, so it is not an example of aerobic interval training.
Option B, spinning in a spin class with varying speeds and resistance set by the instructor, is a form of aerobic interval training. The instructor changes the intensity throughout the class, making it suitable for interval training.
Option C is also an example of aerobic interval training. You jog on a treadmill at a moderate intensity for 3 minutes, then increase the intensity by sprinting for 1 minute, and then repeating this cycle for a total of 24 minutes.
Option D describes walking on a treadmill at a consistent speed for 45 minutes. Like option A, this is continuous steady-state exercise and not interval training.
Therefore, the correct answers are B and C.
