    The Problem With Kettlebell Swings (And What To Do Instead)

    The Problem With Kettlebell Swings (And What to Do Instead) | Strong Brew Strong Brew • Fitness Lying Down • La Crosse, WI The Problem With Kettlebell Swings (And What to Do Instead) Kettlebell swings are beloved. They’re flashy. They’re “simple.” They make people feel athletic. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: simple doesn’t mean safe—and popular doesn’t mean appropriate.

    Rethinking Foundations: Where Does Strength Training Really Begin?

    Rethinking Foundations: Where Does Strength Training Really Begin? In fitness, most of us agree on one thing: foundations matter. Where things tend to get a little fuzzy is what those foundations actually look like . For some, “foundational training” means lighter weights. For others, it means bodyweight exercises or beginner-level movements. While those approaches can be helpful, they don’t always guarantee what truly matters most— movement mastery. In this Strong Brew episode, we explore a simple but often overlooked idea: the problem isn’t that people skip foundations. The problem is that we don’t always know where the foundation truly ....

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.
