Great Gift Idea for Athletes - The @iRolflex Therapy Tool!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Do you have an athlete on your gift list this year? Or maybe someone who is chronically stressed or has tight muscles? Or maybe you  know someone who just enjoys a great massage?

Then, as a certified athletic trainer, I recommend Roflex, an awesome and easy to use tool for relieving muscle tightness! Designed as a therapy tool to help athletes and other users relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the whole body, the Rolflex is the perfect stocking-stuffer this year.

The innovative ergonomic design is carefully crafted based on the anatomy and biomechanics of human body. It really is great for reducing muscle tension and promotes soreness relief by delivering targeted pressure across your body!

I love how easy it is to use and how versatile it is also! It can be used on almost every body part! I used it on my neck, my arms, my legs and my feet!

The unique shape of the The Rolflex™ gives precise leverage & pressure without restricting motion, creating an unparalleled therapeutic release of tension. It can be done by yourself so you don't need to find someone or ask someone every time you need a massage!

The Patent Pending design allows for stabilized Trigger Point and Active Release application, making the The Rolflex™ the most Dynamic self-massage and trigger point product on the market.

I really recommend the Roflex for any athlete or person with chronic muscle tightness! I reach for my Roflex every day it seems!

Father's Day Gift Ideas from TomTom & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Looking to go beyond the traditional patterned tie or sentimental card this year? 

You’re in luck, TomTom has a unique gift for every kind of dad! Check out two of their great gift ideas for Dad this Sunday!

Help Dad With His Handicap!

The new TomTom Golfer GPS watch ($199.99) is perfect for any golfer (or wanna-be golfer). The watch comes pre-loaded with 34,000 courses—so you can find your favorite course at home, or play a round on vacation.

Sure to improve dad’s game, the unique and easy-to-read graphics clearly show accurate distances to hazards and layups, in addition to the best approach to the green. Watch dad’s game soar to the next level using the easy-to-use and stylish watch. Now available in Scuba Blue and Black.

With this watch from TomTom, your dad will:

• Know every inch of the course
• Hit the perfect approach shot
• Designed for golfers
• Play with the latest course data

Some of my favorite features is that it only takes one button to easily navigate through menus! Plus, it gives precise yardages to front, center, and back of green! And you can view unique green and hazard graphics before your shot.

And it never gets in the way of your game because it is lightweight!

LOVE this idea for the golfing dad this Father's Day!

So dad isn’t a golfer? 

Not to worry!

The TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio ($229.99) is perfect for any dad who leads an active lifestyle. It has a built-in heart rate monitor and can track heart rate in any of the five zones by measuring blood flow to the wrist when running, cycling and swimming. The watches freestyle mode makes it easy to track activities like walking the dog or landscaping the yard.

This watch features QuickGPSFix that helps your watch find your location quickly so you can get going faster and it also comes with TomTom MySports mobile app to sync your watch automatically with TomTom MySports.

And my favorite part: a Built-in Heart Rate Monitor! This helps you get accurate heart-rate information without the need for a separate chest strap. I LOVE THAT!

And with the Extra-large Display (see real-time running, cycling or swimming info at a glance) and
Ultra-Slim Design this is the perfect training partner for athletes of all sports!

Switch to A BETTER Sports Drink This Summer: BODYARMOR Sports Drinks

This post is brought to you by BODYARMOR Sports Drinks. All Opinions are 100% mine!

With summer here and the heat rising, many kids are starting summer sports and playing outside. Although, it is important to keep your children hydrated, I don't recommend sugary sports drinks as the way to do it! In addition to all the excess sugar they contain, they also have artificial colors, high sodium and other icky ingredients your children definitely don't need in their bodies!

It’s time to rethink the sports drink and you can do that by replacing it with a healthier and safer alternative:  the new natural sports drink, BODYARMOR.

BODYARMOR has more potassium-packed electrolytes than any other sports drink, coconut water, and vitamins and is low in sodium and contains nothing artificial (unlike other sports drinks on the market).

Many of the top professional athletes have chosen BODYARMOR over all other sports drinks, including Andrew Luck, Richard Sherman, Mike Trout and James Harden – and Kobe Bryant is a major investor in the brand. It is definitely time to rethink the standard sports drink you see everyone giving to their kids during the summer and during sports (or even drinking themselves!) and switch to a better for you sports drink!

What is BODYARMOR?

BODYARMOR is a natural sports drink with more potassium packed electrolytes, vitamins and coconut water. It is low in sodium and contains NOTHING ARTIFICIAL – unlike other sports drinks on the market. It’s a GREAT choice for young athletes especially, who don’t need all the extra sodium in their diets or the artificial ingredients that come from drinking other sports drinks on the market.

BODYARMOR comes in 7-great tasting flavors: fruit punch, orange mango, strawberry banana, tropical punch, lemon lime, mixed berry and grape. They really are all delicious and fun flavors so even the kids will drink them!

As a health care professional, a mom, and an avid athlete, I really LOVE that these are a great alternative to standard sports drinks. HAVE YOU looked at the ingredients on most sports drinks lately!??!! It is not pretty nor most of it comprehensible except for the bold artificial colors, high sugar content and high sodium!

Next time you need to keep hydrated in the hot sun, switch to BODYARMOR. Your children are sure to find a flavor they love (and so will you!). I personally love the Strawberry Banana flavor and love even more when I look at the ingredient list and see all the vitamins included and COCONUT WATER!

BODYARMOR sports drinks should definitely be the choice for hydration for your WHOLE Family this summer! Thank you BODYARMOR for caring about our children's health, our athletes, what you put into your products and for creating a safer way to hydrate!!

Buy It: 

You can purchase BODYARMOR sports drinks at many local retailers including Target, Meijer, and Publix!

And make sure to go to this link and print off the downloadable coupon when you head to the stores to purchase and try out BODYARMOR sports drinks!!
