LeBron James Twitter brand has been evaluated and for 140k you can get him to post a tweet for you. Say what!??!?!?!
With 23.2 million followers, the Cleveland Cavalier forward has extensive social reach and could earn $139,474 US for a single sponsored tweet.
Opendorse, a company that focuses on executing and monetizing digital and social media campaigns for athletes, told ESPN's Darren Rovell of James' potential media value.
"We're basically saying that the value of one LeBron tweet is worth $140,000," said Opendorse CEO Blake Lawrence. "And with that, you will reach 23 million people. It would cost you five times more to reach that many people with a TV ad."
Other big earners include Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant at $66,553, with Los Angeles' Kobe Bryant ($42,389), Floyd Mayweather ($34,924) and Houstons' Dwight Howard ($34,290).
Those numbers are well above what most athletes could expect. Lawrence said an athlete receives between $1,000 and $2,500 from most companies for one tweet.
He divulged that his company recently offered James a six-figure single tweet deal, which was declined by the 30-year-old's camp.

Panamania Presents PUSH - A Tangled Art + Disability Production
During the Parapan Am Games I was lucky enough to receive an invite from Rockit Promotions to attend Panamania Presents PUSH - A Tangled Art + Disability Production. The production was presented by Panamanian present by CIBC and in association with Ping Chong + Company. Ryerson University also supported the production.
Upon arrival I learned that Tangled Art + Disability is a registered charitable organization that is dedicated to the advancement of artists with disabilities and to enhancing access to arts and culture for all. It was founded in 2003 as Abilities Arts Festival, Tangled has produced 12 multidisciplinary arts festivals employing local and international disability-identified artists, while engaging new and returning artists and audiences with year round programming.
It was amazing that the whole theatre was wheel chair assessable. This made it easy for everyone to enter and be seated in the theatre. Unlike many other theatres which aren't as easily accessible.
The entire cast were Parapan Am athletes who had amazing stories of trial and triumph to tell us. The production also went through and told us detailed history about how the Para Games came about. I cried, I laughed, I empathized but most of all I was inspired by each of their stories. Push gets a 10/10 from me. I wanted to go a second time it was that good.
Push! Real Athletes. Real Stories. Real Theatre was part of an ongoing series of community-specific oral history theater works known as the Undesirable Elements series. The script is based on interviews with the participants who then share their own true stories in the final production.
Prepformers/Parapan Am Athletes:
Sarai Demers (Downhill Skier)
Jenna Lambert (Swimmer)
Victoria Nolan (Rowing)
Paul Rosen (Sledge Hockey)
Martha Sandoval Gustafson (Athletics)
Jody Schloss (Horseback Riding)
I was given the opportunity to interview one of the performers Jody Schloss from the production. She is a grade 1A competitor, and gained recognition as a disable athlete in her late 30's. Jody lost her ability to walk and talk when she sustained a brain injury in a car accident that left her in a 3-month long coma. After years of physical rehabilitation and regaining her independence Jody has since become a fierce competitor and made her Paralympic debut in London, 2012.
How did you get involved in theatrics/push?
Katie contacted me by email last summer, I knew I wasn't able to participate as an athlete in the Para PanAm games because there are no Para Dressage events but I still wanted to be involved. I thought it would be fun to do the play with other athletes that have encountered similar obstacles as I have.
How do you hope push changes people's views on para athletes?
I hope para athletes will no longer be pitied or patronized and will be seen as athletes who have overcome adversity.
Tell me about your best memory from competing as a para athlete?
At the 2012 Paralympics in London when Rebus and I first saw the crowds of people, all there to see us! All my hard work paid off though, I put Rebus & myself in our bubble and we were able to focus.
How has the production changed your view on other para athletes?
No, I always knew that athletes have the inner drive and determination. It was exciting for me to work with people with the same drive to succeed that I have.
Are you still competing?
Yes, my goal is to compete at the Paralympics in Rio 2016
Have you ever thought of coaching?
I would love to coach but I think my voice would be a major problem as I wouldn't be able to project my voice to the athletes. I also feel that being ambulatory around horses as a coach is important.
What's next for you?
At the moment, I'm focusing on Equine Assisted Learning and Psychotherapy as an equine specialist. I am working hard on improving my riding so that I can qualify for the Paralympics in Rio in 2016.
What advice would you have for athletes and para athletes wanting to get involved in sport?
Don't let anyone make limitations for you, determine your own limits. Keep pursuing your goals.
Thank you so much Jody for answering my questions! I know you will continue to inspire us and good luck in your future ventures!
Thank you so much for the whole experience and invite Rock-It Promotions and thank you to the entire production for putting on such a great show.
HFACTOR Hydrogen Rich Water Review
I recently had the opportunity to try HFACTORHydrogen Rich Water. The water arrived in a nice package and its contents were quite interesting. The packaging was sheik and silver. The contents said that it contained hydrogen rich water. I have tried hydrogenated water before. However this water was lighter, tastier, and felt very smooth. The smaller packaging made it easy to throw in my bag or my purse. I do however wish that there was a larger size as I drink a lot of water. There for I have to give this product a thumbs up but I am hoping they develop a bigger option for us thirstier athletes.
According to their website. Hydrogen Water has been shown to deploy a wide range of performance and therapeutic effects. Hydrogen, as it exists in normal water, is a light gas and evaporates quickly, preventing this incredible antioxidant from reaching our cells. Enter Molecular Hydrogen, which quickly circulates, into many locations of our body, including the hard to reach powerhouses of our cells.
HFACTOR naturally infuses Hydrogen into water at unprecedented levels, providing a saturation that is easy for our body to obtain and enjoy its benefits.

My Experience At The 5Km Foam Fest in Wasaga Beach

My Experience At The 5Km Foam Fest in Wasaga Beach
On August 1st I decided to drive up to Wasaga Beach with one of my clients to run the 5Km Foam fest that was happening on the beach. At first look it looked super cool. There were huge slides set up and all sorts of fun activities and awesome music playing. We checked in and quickly went to change in the changing rooms. Registration was a breeze and so was bag check. We were told our heat was to go at 12:30pm. It didn't start until about 12:40pm we were just standing at the start waiting for someone to give us instructions. We took our picture in the foam at the start. This was fun. They then came over and told us all to line up! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 4, 3, 2, 1 and we were off. After the first 3 obstacles I was ahead of everyone in my heat. The obstacles were fun, foam filled and super unique. I actually was challenged in the sand and for some of the obstacles. I also quickly caught up to the walkers in the heat before me. Some of the obstacles like the rope climb or walk across the rope was a little loose but no big deal. For the most part I came to the obstacles and quickly went through. Overall the run was fun and slightly challenging.
Now for the bad. I was told by one woman that I shouldn't be racing because the race was for fun. Running fast and going through the obstacles is fun for me. I was timing myself and wanted to see what time I could achieve for 5km with obstacles in the sand. Thats my kind of fun! I was also a bit disappointed that they didn't have a chip time us and there were lots of opportunity to cheat on the course. Also when they finally posted the pictures they were for sale not to simply grab off the internet which I was disappointed about. Ah well.
The race was still very fun and I want to give David Zammit a free lance photographer a big shout out for capturing this awesome photo of me! Because now I have a great memory of the race thanks to him!
2015 Fitspirit Run - Toronto Recap - Train It Right
For the second year in a row I was an ambassador and Kinesiologist for FitSpirit. I got to travel all across the GTA and teach young elementary and high school girls about the benefits, importance and rewards of physical fitness. I also got to introduce them to running and strength training to get them in shape to run their first 5km or 10km. The race was at Downsview Park on a beautiful May day! There is nothing more rewarding than looking at girls who at first doubted their abilities complete their first race. I love making an impact and if I can encourage our youth in any way it would be through teaching them what I have done and how I got to where I am through fitness and sport.
The 2015 FitSpirit Toronto Run at Downsview Park in May was a huge success and gave over 3,000 teenage girls the opportunity to complete the challenge of a 5k or 10k run.
Check out the video and feel free to share the link in the spirit of sport and physical activity!
I hope that the short glimpse into the FitClub provides the inspiration to get us all moving.
Not only did she rock the Complex magazine cover, but she also nailed the Womens Health cover and she rocks adidas old school like no ones business. You've got to love her for getting back into shape. Inside Womeans Health she says she used fitness as an outlet to her broken marriage. She also accredits her trainer Gunnar Peterson (known for training many celebs). Congrats Khloe we love you! Way to rock it and inspire women all over the world! We are glad that you are training it right!

I recently tried out the Pranamat Eco. http://pranamat.com According to their website there are many different uses for it. I love the color of my personal mat (basically tiffanies green). Let me first say that this is not just another pretty looking yoga mat! It is functional and has a multitude of uses! It also comes with a 5 year warranty! THATS A LONG TIME! It was quick to ship and looks just like it is advertised. It also is made of eco friendly materials which is a bonus these days (hence the word eco). I was using it for post workout. At first it took a while to get use to. It was pretty intense actually but after using it a few times I got use to how the pressure points felt. I have been sleeping a lot better. I have not been waking up through the nights and I have been very well rested. Who would have thought that something like this could make that big of a difference.
PRANAMAT ECO THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE MAT
Traditional treatment for body pain isn't for everybody, and if the thought of taking drugs and medication makes you shudder you'll be pleased to know that there is an alternative that has no risks and no side-effects.
The treatment is simple; just lie on the Pranamat ECO mat for 15 to 20 minutes every day. This acupressure mat has been created by wellness experts and harnesses a wonderful combination of ancient theories and holistic therapy to deliver effective body massage via its collection of pointed lotus flowers.
The effects of the Pranamat are incredibly similar to those of acupuncture. Circulation is improved, toxins throughout the body are eliminated and muscles, joints and tissues are relaxed. The nervous system is also stimulated in order to encourage the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. Not only will persistent pain by reduced, but you'll experience a heightened state of mental and physical wellbeing. Whilst you'll notice these effects with each daily use of the Pranamat ECO, you'll also find that over time the mat can actually help to cure chronic aches and pains.
Pranamat ECO is made from high quality, natural and sustainable materials in order to have minimal impact on our environment. It looks and feels beautiful and the impact it will have on your overall health and wellbeing will be astounding. Make it a part of your lifestyle and daily routine in order to make chronic disorders a thing of the past. Your life will become more energized, revitalized and above all else, free from pain without the intervention of traditional medication.
The website provides programs for different uses of the mat and even provides some good video content:
The pure pleasure created by your experience on this mat causes the body to release waves of endorphins - neurotransmitters that serve as your body’s most powerful natural painkillers and sources of well-being. A short session with the Pranamat will leave you feeling happy, satisfied, and well-rested.
It can be purchased online HERE. Give it a try I guaranteed if you make it part of your daily routine you won't be disappointed. I now have it on my computer chair and sit it in it whenever I do work!
