I'm already doing the weight training, once or twice a week.  I
have recently been exploring the high intensity interval aerobics
option.

I have been taking brisk walks, punctuated by 3-minute bursts of
hard running (i.e., at the upper limit of my current aerobic
capacity, which means running as fast as I can sustain for 3
minutes).  Is that the general idea?  How many intervals are
recommended?

It's worth a try.
