    How Not To Injure Your Low Back

    Catch With Your Hips, Not Your Elbows: Why Force Absorption Matters in Strength Training Why Absorbing Force Matters in Strength Training At Fitness Lying Down, we help people throughout La Crosse build strength, mobility, stability, and resilience through thoughtful personal training and small group strength training programs. One of our favorite tools for accomplishing that goal is the Ultimate Sandbag because it creates opportunities to develop real-world strength that carries over into everyday life. But like any tool, how we use it matters. One of the most common mistakes we see with the Ultimate Sandbag doesn’t always happen on the way up. It often happens on the way down. ....

    Grow Strong, Age Gracefully

    Client Spotlight: Bonnie — 86 Years Young & Still Getting Stronger At Fitness Lying Down, we believe strength training should meet the person where they are — not force them into a box. That belief is exactly why Bonnie’s story is so special. Bonnie is 86 years old and has been training with us at FLD for almost four years. But what stands out most about Bonnie isn’t her age. It’s her consistency. It’s her curiosity. It’s her willingness to keep learning, keep moving, and keep showing up for herself. “I always do better when I’m in a community of people.” Strength Training That Makes Sense Before Bonnie started ....

    You Don’t Need a Perfect Diet

    How to Eat More Whole Foods Without Overcomplicating Your Life Healthy eating does not have to mean perfect eating. In this episode of Nourish to Flourish , Megan the Trainer RD talks about one of those nutrition topics most of us already know is important: eating more whole foods and reducing the amount of highly processed foods we rely on. But here’s where this conversation gets good... This is not about throwing away everything in your pantry, spending your entire Sunday meal prepping, or pretending convenience does not matter. “Healthy eating does not have to mean perfect eating.” Life is busy.

    The Fitness Quality You Lose First

    Power Isn’t Just for Athletes: Why Everyday Life Requires More Power Than You Think When most people hear the word power, they usually picture athletes. Football players making a tackle. Olympic lifters moving a barbell. Sprinters exploding off the starting line. Someone jumping onto a box at the gym. And yes, those are all examples of power. But at Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, WI, we believe power is much bigger than that. In fact, power may be one of the most important physical qualities for everyday life, healthy aging, and staying active for the long haul. Because power is not just about jumping higher, lifting faster, or being more athletic. Power is about precision. ....

    You Might Not Need More Coffee… You Might Need More Sun Feeling tired, achy, foggy, or just a little “off” lately? It might not be your age. It might not be your motivation. It might not even be your workouts. It might be your vitamin D. In this week’s Nourish to Flourish , Megan the Trainer RD is talking about one of the most overlooked pieces of nutrition, energy, immune health, muscle function, and overall wellness: vitamin D. ☀️ The Sun Isn’t the Enemy Especially here in Wisconsin, after a long stretch of cold, cloudy months, many of us are crawling out of winter feeling low on energy, stiff, achy, and not quite ourselves.

  • Why FLD Was Almost Never Created

    Why FLD Was Almost Never Created

    Fitness Lying Down Almost Never Happened There’s a story behind Fitness Lying Down that most people don’t know. Before the gym, before the community, before the kettlebells, Ultimate Sandbags, resistance bands, DVRT training, MIM sessions, and all the movement-based strength training we do today…FLD almost never happened. That might sound strange now, especially if you’ve walked through our doors in La Crosse and experienced the energy, coaching, and community that make Fitness Lying Down different. But like many meaningful things in life, FLD was born out of uncertainty, frustration, and one of those moments that forces you to ask, “What now?” FLD ....

    Make Healthy Eating So Easy It Feels Automatic

    You Don’t Need More Motivation. You Need Less Resistance. Have you ever said, “I know what I’m supposed to do… I just can’t seem to do it”? If so, you are not alone. In this episode of Nourish to Flourish, Megan the Trainer RD tackles one of the biggest struggles people face when it comes to nutrition, healthy habits, weight management, and lifestyle change: the gap between knowing and doing. Because here’s the truth — most people do not need more information. They need better systems. Knowledge Is Power. Action Is Powerful. Knowing what to do matters.

    Barefoot Training: The Missing Link in Strength & Mobility

    The Secret to Better Strength Training Might Be Your Feet When most people think about improving strength, mobility, or movement quality, they usually start by looking at the obvious places. Sore knees? Must be the knees. Tight hips? Must be the hips. Low back discomfort? Must be the low back. But what if the real issue starts much lower? At Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, Wisconsin, we believe better movement starts from the ground up. And one of the most overlooked pieces of functional strength training is something you carry with you every single day: your feet. Here’s the big idea: Your feet are not just along for the ride.

    Postpartum Strength Training, Recovery, and Nutrition: Stop Going Too Light to See Results If you’re getting back into exercise after time away, postpartum recovery, or a major life shift, it can be tempting to play it extra safe in the gym. And while there’s absolutely a time and place for lighter weights, mobility work, and easing back into movement, there’s also an important truth we can’t ignore: If there’s no real stimulus, it’s not really strength training.

I started working out at Fitness Lying Down a few months ago. It’s been the best decision I’ve made this year. My core is stronger, I can shovel snow and rake leaves and not be sore for two days afterwards. I’m now able to carry 50 pounds of water softener salt without a struggle. My mental health has improved and so has my confidence. My workouts are tailored specifically for me and my fitness goals. I no longer have low back or hip pain either. I can’t say enough good things about Fitness Lying Down.
