We’ve signed up with Ustream.tv and will be testing it next week in Arizona. You’ll have the opportunity to interact live with a variety of Hardbody women throughout the weekend. If it works out we’ll do more of it in the future and at the Arnold Classic. ** Note we are not talking about broadcasting the shows – we are talking about interactive interviews with hardbody women and possibly photo shoots.

Ustream’s one-to-many live interactive video encourages broadcast-to-viewer and viewer-to-viewer interaction, empowering a much more engaging experience for everyone involved.

This video provides a bit more about the technology and it’s founders.

Stay tuned for more info on this in the coming days.
