  • 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

    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 ....

    Are You Eating Healthy All Week…Then Undoing It on the Weekend?

    ```html Nourish to Flourish Episode 111: Stop Judging Your Nutrition by One Meal You meal prep during the week. You pay attention to your protein. You try to eat more vegetables, watch your portions, and make choices that support your health. But then the weekend comes. Maybe there’s dinner out, travel, a social event, a few snacks you didn’t plan for, or simply a lot less structure than you have Monday through Friday. And suddenly you’re wondering: “Why am I not seeing the progress I thought I would?” In Episode 111 of Nourish to Flourish , Megan the Trainer RD encourages us to stop judging our nutrition by one meal and start ....

    Why People Quit the Gym: Maybe It’s a Gym Problem.

    ```html Why People Quit the Gym: Maybe It’s a Gym Problem People walk into gyms motivated every single day. They want to get stronger. They want to move better. 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. The fitness industry has traditionally been pretty quick to call that a motivation problem. But what if it isn't? What if sometimes it's a gym problem? Maybe We Need to Stop Blaming People for Quitting the Gym In Strong Brew Episode 235, Cory Cripe of Fitness Lying Down takes a harder look at something those of us in ....

    A Nutritious Vacation

    ```html How to Eat Healthy on Vacation Without Ruining Your Vacation Vacation should feel like vacation. It should not feel like another place where you have to track every bite, obsess over every meal, or worry that one dessert is going to undo everything you've been working toward. At the same time, completely abandoning your normal nutrition habits while traveling can sometimes leave you feeling sluggish, uncomfortable, or frustrated when you get home. So how do you find the middle ground? In Episode 110 of Nourish to Flourish, Megan the Trainer RD shares one of her favorite strategies for healthy eating on vacation: creating a few simple anchor habits. These habits can ....

  • Should You Feel Every Exercise? The Truth About Strength Training

    Should You Feel Every Exercise? The Truth About Strength Training

    If You Don't Feel It... Is It Working? Have you ever finished an exercise and thought, "I didn't really feel that." Maybe you were doing a core exercise and didn't feel your abs. Maybe you were doing a pulling exercise and didn't feel your back. Maybe you finished an entire strength training session and wondered if you worked the "right" muscles at all. In fitness, we've been conditioned to believe that if we aren't feeling a specific muscle working, we must be doing something wrong. But what if we're asking the wrong question? Why We Chase the Feeling When we perform an isolation exercise, it's fairly easy to identify the muscle doing most of the work. Think about a traditional ....

    Is Produce Safe During a Parasite Outbreak? Dietitian Tips

    Is It Safe to Eat Produce During a Parasite Outbreak? ``` Produce recalls and parasite outbreaks can make healthy eating feel a little more complicated. Registered Dietitian Megan the Trainer RD explains how frozen, canned, local, and properly rinsed produce can help you continue getting the nutrients your body needs. ``` Another produce outbreak makes the news, and suddenly that container of blueberries or bag of lettuce does not look quite as inviting. It is understandable to feel nervous. Nobody wants to bring home a food that could make them or their family sick. At the same time, fruits and vegetables remain an important source of nutrients—and avoiding ....

    Stop Chasing Perfect Form

    Strong Brew Podcast ``` Stop Chasing Perfect Form Why intentional movement may matter more than looking perfectly “correct” during exercise. ``` “We are not as concerned with perfect form as we are with intentional form.” That statement may sound controversial coming from a gym. After all, most people have been told that proper exercise technique begins with finding the one correct position and holding onto it at all costs. Keep your feet here. Put your shoulders there. Maintain this exact angle. Make every repetition look the same. At Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, Wisconsin, we certainly care about helping people exercise ....

    Oatmeal For Breakfast? Are You Kidding?!?!

    From the Nourish to Flourish Vault Is Oatmeal a Healthy Breakfast? It Depends on What’s in Your Bowl Oatmeal can absolutely be part of a healthy breakfast—but eating plain oatmeal by itself may not give your body everything it needs to stay satisfied throughout the morning. We’re reaching into the Nourish to Flourish Vault for an episode that created quite a reaction when Megan first shared it in 2023. Her opening message was not exactly subtle: “Please, for crying out loud, stop eating oatmeal for breakfast.” Before oatmeal lovers begin gathering outside the doors of Fitness Lying Down, there is some important context. ....

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.
