Fitness Pioneer Jack LaLanne to Do Live Internet Radio Show on Modavox VoiceAmerica(TM) Network

Posted on: Thursday, 23 August 2007, 15:13 CDT

Modavox, Inc. (OTCBB: MDVX), Internet broadcasting pioneer and holder of several patented technologies, today announced that fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne will do a live Internet radio show on the their VoiceAmerica™ Network.

He opened the first modern health spa. He was the first to have a nationally-syndicated fitness show on TV. He was the first advocate for combining weight training and nutrition. He was a founding member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness under JFK. He is responsible for disseminating fitness information in every medium including books, television, radio, videos, recipes, websites, products and motivational speeches. And now, he's spreading his good word about fitness on live Internet radio -- at 93 years of age.

Modavox, Inc., an industry leader in networked audio and video solutions for live and on-demand Internet broadcasting and syndication, announces the launch of "Jack LaLanne Live" on the VoiceAmerica Network, which streams live Internet talk radio programs and is the single largest producer of Internet talk radio programming in the world. The one-hour show debuts on Monday, September 17 at 9am PST, and can be found every Monday at 9am at www.modavox.com/voiceamerica.

"I'm really excited to be a pioneer in Internet radio as I begin my new show on VoiceAmerica," said LaLanne. "We'll pack the weekly sixty-minute show with exercises, special guests, listener call-ins, a blog segment. It's my opportunity to communicate directly with my audience and answer the many questions I have received over the years in a live forum."

The show will feature, along with Jack LaLanne, his wife Elaine LaLanne and Jack's 30-year-old nephew, Chris LaLanne, who is a body-builder, kinesiologist, and personal trainer. The show will feature information about diet, exercise, proper nutrition and mental well-being, and will include a 15-minute email and call-in segment during which LaLanne will respond live to audience questions.

"Jack LaLanne has a personality like none other, and he's got such a stellar reputation for practicing what he preaches and the timeless advice that he gives," said Sonja Darte, Host Services Manager at VoiceAmerica. "I see his show as becoming a standard part of our programming; there is so much he has to offer our audience going forward."

Captivating audiences with not only his down-to-earth advice on fitness, health, wellness, nutrition and exercise, but also his obvious personal example of fitness and strength at an advanced age, are things Jack LaLanne is known for around the world. Much of what LaLanne has advocated since the 1940s through his teaching and beliefs -- the benefit of daily systematic exercise and proper diet -- has become common knowledge today and recognized by doctors and experts as principal keys to a longer, healthier life.
