The Fitness Lying Down Podcast Cory

The episode you’ve been waiting for! This week’s nutrition take over with Megan The Trainer RD is all about weight management. The magic recipe for weight management is eat less, move more, skip breakfast, be in a calorie deficit, avoid carbs, and run until your legs fall off - or so you’ve been told! What’s the truth to these things? How do you successfully lose weight and keep it off? Can you work on these goals and still enjoy your life or are you limited to chicken, rice, and broccoli? 

In this episode you’ll learn about some nutrition basics, mechanics of our metabolism like what speeds it up and slows it down, myths and the truth behind common weight loss approaches, and lastly you’ll hear about 5 action areas and leave with steps that you can do today to foster weight changes. If you like what you hear and think this might resonate with someone, pass it along or send us a message - we love hearing from listeners! 

Set up a Blueprint session with Megan where you can calculate your estimated needs and build the structure for your meals!

Many of us begin our fitness journey as enthusiasts and that path leads us to consider exercising as a hobby and/or a lifestyle change. However, how many of us (even the professionals) consider fitness as a calling - more than just some job to do until you find something else that will support you, but an actual career that you dedicate and sacrifice for to improve yourself and those you are responsible for training? In this week's episode, Cory explains what it takes to truly answer this unique calling of being a fitness professional and how it isn't for everyone!

So what happens when you have such an amazing training system that supports clients' fitness goals when they're working with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, etc and you then have fitness clients that want to push the proverbial envelope and go beast mode in your gym? Do you have enough tools in your fitness toolbox to effectively train all intelligently? In this episode, Cory shares the secrets to our training sauce at Fitness Lying Down!

Here is the one million dollar question: are fitness professionals actually trying to help their clients, or are they trying to help themselves? With the large influence of social media, it can be easy to be tempted to offer fitness & exercise advice for audience engagement and social media net worth, rather than being concerned about those heeding that advice. There is quite the responsibility for the personal trainer to take care of the whole person and not just the physical parts that are brought to the gym! We are excited to bring back a good friend of the podcast, DVRT Ultimate Sandbag creator & CEO, Josh Henkin, to discuss how the fitness pro can remove the guesswork from program design and provide a more positive, corrective experience for the fitness client! A definite "must listen" for the fitness coaches and clients!

We have come a long way in the fitness industry as professionals, however we still fall short of the mark and can do so much better to support and nurture our leaders in the fitness world, as well as, the clients whom we serve. This week Cory spills some fitness tea on the effects from the scars of the past that continue to hinder our present, but can still be corrected to allow for a bright fitness future!
