Between the 2,500-seat Verizon Hall (home of the Philadelphia Orchestra), the 650-seat Perelman Theater (popular for recitals of chamber music, dance, and drama), and the vast, welcoming Commonwealth Plaza, this is a truly impressive center for cultural performance and engagement. The full calendar of events runs the gamut of mediums, but certain yearly events are not to be missed. The popular Broadway Series always brings a touch of the Big Apple to town, while a program of free events (from international musicians to local youth ensembles) makes the center available to everyone. With this many options—and a busy calendar year-round—there’s always an opportunity to get involved with Philadelphia’s vibrant cultural scene.

Try These 5 Ways To Get Excited About Working Out! http://www.lisspropertygroup.com/blog/2010/05/in-a-workout-rut-try-these-5-ways-to-get-excited-about-working-out/ http://www.lisspropertygroup.com/blog/2010/05/in-a-workout-rut-try-these-5-ways-to-get-excited-about-working-out/#comments Wed, 12 May 2010 14:27:41 +0000 admin http://www.lisspropertygroup.com/blog/2010/05/in-a-workout-rut-try-these-5-ways-to-get-excited-about-working-out/ Even the most dedicated exerciser finds themselves running out of steam from time to time. If you’ve fallen out of love with your current routine, here are a few ways to snap out of your rut and reinvigorate your love affair with exercise.

Get into the groove.  If you love to listen to music when you exercise, stoking your motivational fires might be as simple as downloading some new-to-you tunes. Check new releases and exercise recommendations in the iTunes store for anything that strikes your fancy: the less familiar to you, the better!

Dress to impress. Shop around your favorite sports store and buy yourself some new workout gear. You might be surprised how eager you are to get in the gym to show off your new pair of colorful kicks, dri fit shirt, or cute pair of cropped gym pants.

Kick it up a notch. Sometimes, boredom can creep into our workout routines when we slack off and let ourselves get lazy. Try a more challenging DVD, a new gym class, or work out routine and see what happens.

Read all about it. Scoot down to your local library and check out a few books about the “rock stars” at the top of your favorite sport, or seek out an autobiography penned by any athlete who inspires you.

Give it away now. If your workout routine has grown stale because worrying about burning calories seems like such a trivial concern, why not work charitable giving into your routine? Sign up for a 5K race or a relay event that will help you raise money for a cause you care about.

Opened in 1968, the venue moved from its original converted tire warehouse to a more appropriate converted electric factory in the mid-90s, where it remains a beacon for lovers of widespread musical genres. With a standing capacity of nearly 3,000 people (including a second-floor area overlooking the stage), this is one venue where you’ll want to be on your feet—whether that means dancing, head-banging, or scuffing along to the beat. The space is available for private functions and corporate events, but mostly it’s just a great place to go catch a live performance by local, national, or global acts.

The Electric Factory
421 N. 7th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19123
