I finished Swing Hard 1.0 last week. With the weather finally turning pleasant - summer in Scotland is basically July and part of August - I considered doing some Hill Sprints instead of KB Swings as my primary conditioning. So I experimented this week, trying both methods.
I found that the Hill Sprints were much more intense, raising my heart rate and leaving me gasping for air. Swings also raised by heart rate, though not as much and my respiration was nearly unchanged.
Are Swings more akin to LISS than HIIT? And yes, I know Swings can be performed with extreme intensity, but I'm referring to GPP programs like the less advanced versions of Swing Hard.
I welcome other member's opinions.
