In the fitness world, we gear our ads and messaging towards our ideal client. We have forms and formulas to calculate who our target market is and how to appeal to the ideal client. But has the personal training client ever thought about their ideal trainer? In this week's episode Cory covers what you should be looking for in your ideal trainer - shocker, it's not him! Plus, we cover Hip Hinge November and tell you all about improving your deadlifts at the gym. This and more for an action packed Fitness Lying Down podcast episode!

Guess who’s back?! Not only is this a nutrition take over with Megan, but she’s joined once again with fellow dietitian, Rebecca Cripe! We know we need nutrients to support our physical health. Did you know we need them for our mental health, too?? Our diet quality impacts our mental health, and our mental health impacts our food choices. Break the cycle! You’re going to want to take a listen if you want more info on stress eating, knowing which nutrients impact your experience of anxiety and depression, and how dietitians are ready to problem solve with you!

We expect a lot out of our fitness and strength training sessions. We want to reach the goals we have laid out for ourselves and are even willing to hire a fitness professional to help get us there. Now the question is what happens if your personal trainer appears not to be fit? Does their training and fitness advice mean less than if it came from someone who appears to be in shape and fit? In this week's episode Cory unpacks this topic and shares his thoughts about what it means to only get your fitness advice from someone that looks the part!

We have gone over the various aspects of the DVRT system and the seamless implications of adding it into your functional strength training programs.

This week Cory addresses a fitness phenomenon known as 'Farmboy Strong.' What is it and where did it come from? When we are building strength - will any kind of strength do? And in actuality is being so strong in all movements and in all planes of motion a good thing? Heavy hitting episode with a dash of FLD history included for your listening pleasure :)

A lot of questions can be asked about fitness standards, strength training, personal training, goup fitness classes, methodology, and more when changing your training locations. There might have been some significant improvements in your previous gym, but for whatever reason you have to move on to another location and this change can be unsettling for most. Are you going to like it, will you get along with other clients and/or trainers, and are you going to lose all the progress you gained from your previous gym? Cory is going to take a walk down this lane with you and discuss his insights on why there is nothing to fear when moving your gym location to Fitness Lying Down!
