    The Hip Hinge: Rethinking How We Lift and Build Real-World Strength

    The Hip Hinge: Rethinking How We Lift and Build Real-World Strength Strong Brew | Episode 240 | Fitness Lying Down "Don't lift with your back!" How many times have you heard that advice? It's probably one of the most common phrases associated with lifting something heavy. But what if there's more to the story? In this week's episode of Strong Brew, we're challenging some familiar lifting advice and exploring one of the most important fundamental human movement patterns: the hip hinge. Whether you're picking up groceries, lifting a child, or moving something heavy around the house, understanding how your hips, feet, and trunk work together can make a significant difference in ....

    Cortisol, Stress & Nutrition: Why Recovery Matters

    Cortisol Isn't the Enemy: How Nutrition, Stress & Recovery Work Together When you hear the word cortisol, what comes to mind? Stress? Hormonal imbalance? Something you need to lower? Cortisol has developed a reputation as the bad guy in conversations about health and wellness. But as Megan Berner, Registered Dietitian at Fitness Lying Down, explains in Episode 115 of Nourish to Flourish , cortisol isn't inherently bad. In fact, it's an important part of how our bodies respond to challenges. The real issue isn't having a stress response. It's experiencing stress repeatedly without giving our bodies adequate opportunities to recover. What Is Cortisol and Why Does Your Body Need It? ....

    Why People Quit the Gym: Is Motivation Really the Problem? Strong Brew | Episode 239 "JUST DO IT!" Don't feel like working out? Just do it! Struggling to stay consistent with exercise? Just do it! Having trouble losing weight? JUST. DO. IT. If only building healthy habits were that simple! The fitness industry loves talking about motivation, discipline, and accountability. And while those things certainly have their place, there's an important question we often overlook: What if a lack of motivation isn't the reason people stop going to the gym?

    ```html Is It Aging or a Vitamin B12 Deficiency? Signs You Shouldn't Ignore Are you feeling a little more forgetful lately? Maybe your energy isn't what it used to be, or you've noticed some unusual tingling or numbness. It's easy to chalk these things up to getting older. But what if aging isn't the whole story?

    CRIPES! Are we making squats harder than they need to be?! ??

    Born to Squat: Are We Sacrificing Mobility for Strength? Strong Brew Episode 238 | Fitness Lying Down | La Crosse, WI CRIPES! Have we been training squats all wrong? It's Squatober, and that means we're celebrating one of the most recognizable movements in fitness: the squat! But somewhere along the way, we may have started confusing the purpose of the squat with how much weight we can lift while performing it. At Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, Wisconsin, we believe understanding human movement patterns is essential to building strength, improving mobility, and creating a body that moves better both inside and outside the gym. And that brings us to a question worth asking: ....

    Meal Planning Made Easy

    Meal Planning Doesn't Have to Be Hard: Try the Coffee Maker Challenge What's for supper? Sometimes those three words are enough to make you want to order a pizza and call it a day. 😂 It's not necessarily because you don't know how to cook or don't have food in the house. Sometimes you're simply tired of making decisions. That's exactly what Megan the Trainer RD is tackling in Episode 113 of Nourish to Flourish —and she's doing it with a little friendly competition against her coffee maker. The Hardest Part of Meal Planning Might Be Getting Started When people hear meal planning or meal prep, it's easy to picture hours in the kitchen, containers covering the ....

  • Why Is This So Important For Building Strength?

    Why Is This So Important For Building Strength?

    One of the Most Misunderstood Words in Fitness There are certain words you hear all the time in the fitness world. Personal trainers use them. Fitness influencers use them. We use them with our clients at Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, WI. But sometimes we use a word so often that we forget to ask a pretty important question: What does it actually mean? There's one particular word we use constantly at FLD. We talk about finding it through your feet. We talk about creating it through your core. You'll hear it when we're squatting, lunging, pressing, pulling and especially when we're working from different body positions. And people often assume it means the same thing as balance ....

    Mindful Digestion

    You Don't Just Eat With Your Stomach: Why Chewing Matters for Digestion When we think about digestion, most of us picture something pretty simple: food goes into the stomach, gets broken down, nutrients get absorbed, and we're on our way. But digestion actually starts before your food ever reaches your stomach. In Episode 112 of Nourish to Flourish , Megan the Trainer RD explains why the experience of eating—including seeing, smelling, tasting, and chewing your food—plays an important role in digestion, fullness, satisfaction, and even how much we eat. Digestion Starts Before Food Reaches Your Stomach Your mouth isn't simply a doorway to your digestive tract. It's ....

You try to eat more vegetables, watch your portions, and make choices that support your health. But then the weekend comes.

They want to improve their health, feel more capable, and finally make fitness a consistent part of their lives. Then, somewhere along the way, they stop showing up.

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.
