    Why Is Nutrition Advice So Confusing? How to Find the Right Diet for You

    Why Is Nutrition Advice So Confusing? How to Find the Right Diet for You Should you try intermittent fasting? Do you need more than 100 grams of protein each day?

In Episode 108 of Nourish to Flourish , Registered Dietitian Megan Berner—better known as Megan the Trainer RD—explains why nutrition research can appear contradictory and how to build a healthy eating approach that works for your goals, lifestyle, and current season ....

  • Oatmeal For Breakfast? Are You Kidding?!?!

    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. ....

  • The Biggest Mistake People Make When Choosing a Gym

    The Biggest Mistake People Make When Choosing a Gym

    Why More Gym Equipment Doesn't Always Mean Better Results When most people start looking for a gym, it’s easy to believe that more equipment means more opportunity. Rows of machines. Endless options. Every possible exercise station you could imagine. On the surface, it feels like the gym with the most equipment should be the best place to get stronger, improve your fitness, and finally reach your goals. But what if all of that equipment is actually part of the problem? In this episode of Strong Brew, we talk about one of the biggest misconceptions in fitness: the idea that more machines automatically lead to better results. Less equipment can often create better movement, ....

Understanding Water Weight, Scale Fluctuations, and What Your Body Is Actually Telling You Have you ever gone to bed feeling pretty good about your nutrition, your workouts, and your healthy habits…only to wake up, step on the scale, and think: “How did I gain three pounds overnight?” Before you panic, swear off carbs, or convince yourself all your hard work has disappeared, take a deep breath. That sudden jump on the scale is probably not fat gain. More often than not, it is something much more common: water weight. In this episode of Nourish ....

    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. ....

It might not even be your workouts. It might be your vitamin D.

  • 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 ....

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.
