📌Welcome to Athletic Living Collective - Start here!
Hey crew, Nando here 👋 This community exists to help you build an athletic body that actually fits real life. Not “train like a pro” and burn out. Not “wait for motivation” and stay stuck. Just smart movement that improves strength, mobility, posture, and confidence with the time and energy you really have. This is a free space, always. We are building it together, while I continue to improve the courses and programs in the background. Step 1: Introduce yourself Comment below with 3 quick things 1. What does your week look like right now? Desk job, standing job, busy parent, student, athlete, shift work, all good 2. What is your biggest struggle? Pain, stiffness, low energy, no plan, inconsistency, weak core, tight hips, bad posture, stress, pick one 3. One small commitment for the next 7 days. Examples: - 5 minutes of mobility after work - 2 strength sessions this week - 10-minute walk after lunch - Stand up every hour - Stretch before bed Keep it simple. Small wins stack fast. Step 2: What you will get inside While we grow the library, expect - Move of the Month: One movement, taught properly, with regressions and progressions - Quick wins: Short sessions you can do at home, work, or the gym - Problem solving: You tell me what hurts or what keeps failing, I help you fix it - Challenges and accountability: Simple weekly targets so you actually stay consistent You will also see ideas pulled from my paid programs, such as The Office Workout and Athletic Living Foundations, shared here in a practical, free format, so you can start improving right away. Step 3: How we show up here - Respect only - Progress over perfection - Ask questions, share wins, support each other Now drop your intro below and your 7-day commitment. I will reply and help you pick the best first step.

Hey Alex, welcome in 😄☕️ Barista life is no joke. 8 hours on your feet is basically a low level endurance event, and it can absolutely cook the low back if your hips and core are getting stiff and your body is just bracing all day. Also love the commitment. 10 minutes before and after work is PERFECT. That’s exactly the vibe here. Simple, doable, no burnout. Quick tweak to make your 10-minute hit harder for back pain. Before work, think “wake up and prep” -5 slow breaths into your belly and sides -6 to 8 hip hinges like Good mornings(hands on hips, feel glutes) -30 to 45 seconds per side of a hip flexor stretch, like a coach stretch -8 to 10 glute bridges -30 to 45 seconds per side of hip rotations After work, think “decompress” -legs up on a chair for 1 to 2 minutes -gentle trunk rotation side to side -1 minute of easy child’s pose or deep squat hold if it feels good with deep breaths. And yo, thank you for the kind words. Means a lot. You’re officially part of the Collective now. Let’s get that back feeling better this week 👊
🗣 What’s your biggest roadblock right now?
Alright, now that you introduced yourself, let’s get practical. Most people do not struggle because they are lazy. They struggle because real life is heavy. Work, stress, low energy, pain, random schedules, and zero clarity on what to do. So let’s find your main bottleneck so I can help you fix it fast. Comment below with this format: 1) My biggest roadblock is: Pick one - Time - Energy - Pain or stiffness - No plan, I do random workouts - Motivation, I start and stop - Gym intimidation - Travel or chaotic schedule - Other, tell us 2) Where you feel it most: Neck, shoulders, low back, hips, knees, ankles, whole body, or “I just feel weak.” 3) What you want most right now: Pick one - Pain relief and mobility - Strength and posture - Fat loss and consistency - Athletic performance - Stress reduction and energy 4) Your “minimum effective dose” this week: What can you realistically do even on your busiest days? Example: 8 minutes, 3 days a week Why am I asking? Your answers decide what I post next - Quick routines you can do anywhere - Step-by-step fixes for common pain patterns - Simple challenges for consistency - Progressions for strength and mobility Drop your answers below. I’ll reply with a first step you can start today.

Hey @Alexsandra Bitencourt , welcome! Totally get you. Energy being the main roadblock is super common, and the low back + feet combo usually just means your body is tired from carrying you all day. When you get home, do a quick little reset before you fully sit down for the night: Feet up + breathe: feet on a chair/couch, lay on your back, slow breaths. Nothing fancy. Just let your ribs soften and feel your shoulders drop. Loosen the spine: a few gentle cat cows or slow pelvic tilts on the floor. Just a couple reps, only enough to feel your back stop gripping.If you do not know those moves, tell me and I can DM you a couple quick links. Wake up the feet: quick calf stretch, then a few easy calf raises. Or roll the bottom of your foot on a ball or water bottle if you have one. That’s it. If you only do one piece, do the feet up breathing. It helps the stress side first, and the back usually follows. But remember this is the relief button. To make it stop coming back, we need to build the muscles that support your posture and structure. I will post a simple 10-minute “structure” workout soon.
