SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
One year after its official launch, LIVESTRONG.COM, the definitive online
destination for health and fitness information, today announced that more than
1.5 million people made healthy changes in their lives using the LIVESTRONG.COM
website`s tools, unique content and active, supportive community. Recently, the
site also polled an excess of 1200 visitors regarding their health behaviors and
attitudes. The results reveal that more than 90 percent of respondents are
succeeding in improving health and achieving goals since engaging in health and
fitness sites, including LIVESTRONG.COM. Additionally, 67 percent of those
surveyed depend on their virtual community for inspiration, tools and as a
primary means of attaining diet and fitness objectives; more than the gym,
cookbooks or personal trainers.

Developed by Demand Media, Inc., the leader in distributed social media, and the
Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF), LIVESTRONG.COM hosts a unique combination of
original, expert-produced content, interactive Web 2.0 tools and an active
community of 1.5 million registered users that has enabled it to emerge as a key
player in the online health space. As LIVESTRONG.COM reaches its one-year
anniversary, the site has more than 4.2 million unique monthly visitors
interested in improving their lives.

"We have always felt that social media is a transformative force in today`s
culture with the ability to impact people both in the online and offline world.
The fact that so many people have had their lives changed for the better with
LIVESTRONG.COM is a testament to the vision our team shares with Lance
Armstrong, and the more than a million people committed to living an active,
healthy life who power the site," said Richard Rosenblatt, Demand Media`s
co-founder, chairman and CEO. "The community continues to be the destination`s
single most valuable asset; and combined with our award-winning platform,
quality applications and expert content, users can truly leverage this new
approach to healthy living."

Much of the success of LIVESTRONG.COM in its first year can be attributed to its
popular features, such as The Daily PlateTM. The Daily Plate is an interactive
tool allowing users to calculate their nutritional intake by tracking the foods
they consume and the activities they perform. To date, more than 776,000
LIVESTRONG.COM members who use The Daily Plate lost more than 5 million pounds
and burned almost 2 billion calories by tracking their exercise and food using
The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.COM.

As an extension of The Daily Plate, LIVESTRONG.COM recently released two Calorie
Tracker applications for mobile devices, enabling LIVESTRONG.COM users to manage
their health via iPhone, iPod Touch and BlackBerry smart-phones. Since their
rollout, 25 percent of all food and fitness tracking is now originating from
these mobile applications.

Additionally, the LIVESTRONG.COM Dare ToTM application provides motivation,
goal-setting and community support by enabling users to challenge themselves,
and others, to take on actionable objectives and track their progress. The Dare
To application connects users with similar goals, provides forums for
discussion, and offers guidance from expert leaders. Since the site`s launch,
more than 166,000 thousand Dare To challenges have been taken ranging from
walking 20 minutes a day,to quitting smoking, to getting more sleep and many
others.

"LIVESTRONG.COM was designed to provide people with the information and
resources they need to stay positive and reach their ongoing health goals," said
Lance Armstrong Foundation founder and chairman, cancer survivor and champion
cyclist Lance Armstrong. "In just one year the site inspired a movement of 1.5
million people who were 90 percent successful in improving their health. While
it is a milestone worth celebrating, we want the site to continue to have that
kind of impact year after year."

Utilizing the tools and applications offered, collectively, LIVESTRONG.COM users
have made the following achievements in the past 12 months.
