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.

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.

Today I'll be talking about new beginnings. Or, resets. Because you don't need to start from scratch to feel the nerves and the doubt.

I've felt it. I'm feeling it right now. New Year. New Plans. Branching out in my business. Closing out things that weren't working (hello, doubt!) and moving into new areas (hello, terror!)

However, since waiting and stagnating aren't helping my business grow, I've had to learn how to manage those feelings while adapting, pivoting, shifting, and ultimately moving forward.

This episode will set you up for a simple New Year reset.

You don’t need a perfect start. You just need an honest one.

If you want to follow along with the exercises from today’s workout, here is a guide to sun salutations, all beginner-friendly and equipment-free.
