Get Out of the House: Why Freelancers Need to Socialize

Freelance Fitness is your weekly 10-minute movement break designed for creative freelancers, voice actors, designers, writers, editors, and anyone who spends their days creating, producing, and problem-solving. Hosted by freelance voiceover artist and former fitness instructor Alison Pentecost, each episode blends mindset coaching, creative productivity, and simple exercises you can do anywhere.

Today I'll be talking about something that I think is very important — especially for those of us who spend most of our time working solo: getting out of the house and talking to other human beings. One of the main reasons I started this podcast, besides needing to be constantly reminded of all this good advice so I could apply it in my own life, was to build community. Let's be honest, though, getting out there and making friends or even work acquaintances as an adult can be challenging. Sometimes it's hard to know where to start.

So I'll be coaching a getting out of the house walking mobility workout. Active stretching and mobility exercises that will limber you up and get you feeling energized so you can go out into society feeling your very best.

Links to exercise guides are here: knee hugs, hamstring sweeps, forward lunges.
