Freelance Fitness is a weekly 10 minute exercise break from your workday aimed at freelance creative folks, hosted by freelance voiceover artist and former fitness instructor Alison Pentecost.

Even pro athletes don’t just practice one move over and over. A swimmer doesn’t only swim laps. A hockey player doesn’t just shoot pucks. They run, lift, stretch — building the muscles that support their specialty. That’s what makes them faster, more balanced, more resilient.

When you’re a creative freelancer, it’s the same thing. You may specialize in one craft — voice acting, design, writing, photography — but if you want to perform at a high level, you can’t just train that one muscle. Or maybe there's a crossover skill that could add some real value to your offer.

So let's get into a good old lower body strengthening workout (grab your aerobic step if you've got it!) while we think about value add.

Links to exercise guides are here: high knees, squats, step-ups, hip flexion, side hip extension, back hip extension.
