Atlanta's "Music Midtown" Festival Canceled??
?The?Music Midtown festival?held in September has been canceled due to the state of Georgia's recent gun legislature preventing organizers from banning guns on festival grounds.
?This year's lineup consisted of over 30 various artists across 4 stages. Music Midtown was originally founded in 1994 and held in Atlanta's Piedmont Park.
?"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Music Midtown will no longer be taking place this year," a?statement?released by the festival.
?"We were looking forward to reuniting in September and hope we can all get back to enjoying the festival together again soon.”
Exercises You Can Do On the Road
?One of the most challenging aspects of life in the events industry is the constant travel and inconsistent schedule. How do you stay healthy when you’re working? What kind of exercises can you do in a tiny hotel room?
?We’ve called in our resident fitness expert and CrossFit certified colleague, customer success manager John Barron, to show us a few ways you can stay in shape, no matter where you are.
????Let's get warmed up first!?
Couch stretch: you can do a series of static stretches against a couch, a wall, a hotel bed or whatever your space may offer.
?Lunge kicks: start from a standing position. Lunge backward until your back leg’s knee just touches the ground. From there, push your hips towards the ground while driving the knee forward. As you stand back up, kick that foot as high as you can in front of you.
?Wall push-ups: just like you would on the floor, position yourself in front of a wall and perform 10-15 wall push-ups.
???? Time for the workout:??
Repeat this cycle seven times ("7 by 7" routine):
Try to maintain good form to complete the exercises but if you can't take a look at these?step-by-step videos and modified versions.
?You may not be able to complete seven cycles of this loop – that’s okay! The important thing is that you challenge yourself.
