  • When to Say No: The Freelance Survival Skill You Didn’t Know You Needed
    2025/09/17

    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.

    This week we'll be working on lower body mobility, because we all have hips and we'd all like them to feel less tight. And can we talk about saying no? Turning down work or not auditioning for a job? As freelancers, a large part of our job is looking out for the next gig, because that's how we generate income and income is how we pay our bills. But it can sometimes feel like we have to shoot at all the targets for fear of missing out. I think it's important to have healthy boundaries.

  • How Not To Screw Up Your First Long Form Project Like I Did
    2025/09/10

    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.

    This week we're doing a lower-body strength workout. Working one side at a time. Isolating one side at a time forces to acknowledge our weaker side, which allow us to strengthen it individually, and not to always compensate with our dominate side. Also, I want to talk about long form projects, and how they are NOT the equivalent of a bunch of small projects stuck together. When all you've booked up to now are smaller, shorter projects, there are pitfalls you'll want to avoid.

    Links to guides for all of this week's exercises are here: Squats, Good Mornings, Split Squats, Curtsey Squat, Single Leg Deadlift, Forward Lunge.

  • Special Summer Out of Office Episode!
    2025/08/27

    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.

    This week, I'm taking a break from my regularly scheduled Freelance Fitness podcasts to bring you an episode where there'll be no work talk, no fitness talk, just lounging, strolling, frolicking, or grooving to fun summer beats. Whatever you want to do while I ramble on about things that aren't work-related like travel and festivals. Don't we all need a break from our regularly scheduled week sometimes? Come for the anecdotes, stay for the music!

  • Failure doesn't have to be the end of your client relationship
    2025/08/20

    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.

    This week we're doing a mobility workout. This week I'll be borrowing from the great tradition of yoga and coaching Sun Salutations. These movement sequences are great for warming up the muscles in our entire body, as well as grounding and relaxing us. And we'll be discussing what to do when we fail in our freelance business. How can we rebuild lost trust and retain a client we've let down?

    This week we're doing an isometric strength workout, that's a workout where we're going to contract the muscle and hold the position to build our muscular endurance. While we examine factors that can affect our motivation and some of the things we can do about it.
