  • Barefoot Training: The Missing Link in Strength & Mobility

    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.

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. They help set the foundation for strength, ....

    Stop Babying Your Workouts (Even Postpartum) | Strength Training, Nutrition & Real Recovery

    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. In the latest Nourish to Flourish , Megan the Trainer RD shares a refreshingly honest take on returning to workouts and fueling your body well. Her message is especially helpful for women ....

    Stop Stretching. Try This Mobility Drill Instead!

    Stop Stretching? Try This Mobility Drill Instead | Personal Training in La Crosse At Fitness Lying Down, we believe better movement doesn’t always come from doing more.

  • The Fitness Industry Is Wrong About Rest

    The Fitness Industry Is Wrong About Rest

    Why Rest During a Workout Can Actually Help You Get Stronger If the fitness industry has a love language, it might be “keep moving.” More sweat. Less rest. Faster transitions. Higher heart rates. Constant motion. Somewhere along the way, a lot of people were taught to believe that resting during a workout is a sign of weakness — like taking a break means you are losing ground, falling behind, or not working hard enough. At Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, Wisconsin, we see it differently. We believe that rest is one of the most valuable tools in a strength training program. Not because we want people doing less, but because we want them doing better. In this ....

A bold statement to start the kettlebell civil war: You don’t have to do kettlebell swings. And if that makes someone mad… good. That’s usually where better coaching begins. Why ....

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.
