Bowflex Dials up Another Dumbbell Innovation; New SelectTech Dumbbell Pair Designed for Women and Teens.

VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Nautilus, Inc. (NYSE:NLS) has introduced another pair of its popular Bowflex(R) SelectTech(TM) dumbbells, specifically for women and teens who seek innovative weight-bearing exercise but don't want an assortment of dumbbells scattered around their workout area.

The new Bowflex SelectTech 220 dumbbells allow people to select weight from 2.5 to 20-pounds in 2.5 pound increments, simply by turning selectorized dials on the handles that lock in only the selected weight and leave the remaining plates in the accompanying rack. A single set of SelectTech dumbbells functions as the equivalent of eight pairs of traditional dumbbells or free weights.

"We are excited to bring another innovation to the marketplace to help more people become fit and healthy," said Tim Hawkins, chief marketing and customer officer for Nautilus, Inc. "This fitness tool will be available directly from the company beginning this week, and eventually will be made available at certain retailers."

The new dumbbells were met with enthusiasm from Keli Roberts, a Los Angeles-based trainer of celebrities including Cher, author of Fitness Hollywood, and advisor to the Nautilus Institute.

"These innovative dumbbells are a highly practical and space-saving exercise tool that women and teens need to achieve a complete fitness workout. Women are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of weight-bearing exercise in addition to cardiovascular workouts and diets. Weight-bearing exercise helps with balance and flexibility, and results in stronger muscles and bones, which helps women reduce the risk of osteoporosis and related arthritic conditions."

Osteoporosis is considered a major health risk with more than 44 million people ages 50-plus already suffering from low bone mass or osteoporosis, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Osteoporotic fractures cost $18 billion or more annually in the United States. To prevent or minimize the risks of osteoporosis later in life, people are encouraged to adopt a lifelong pattern of weight-bearing exercise. In addition, they should achieve a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, refrain from smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

The Bowflex SelectTech 220 dumbbells were designed after receiving feedback from women who loved the 5 to 52.5 pound pair the company introduced last year. The 2.5 to 20 pound pair has a shorter bar length, smaller handle grip, and is easier to maneuver for those who do not anticipate the need for additional weight options. They serve the same function as 16 dumbbells that require plenty of workout floor space or a clumsy rack.

"Free weights are an easy tool to start up or step up a fitness regimen," said Roberts. Ideally, we want people to achieve a balance of training focused on strength, cardio, balance and flexibility."

A pair of Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells retails for $299 plus shipping, with an optional stand for $89. It comes with a free 90-minute training DVD, "Secrets of the 4 Step Rep" by Tom Purvis, one of the foremost experts in resistance training. The package can be financed for $13 a month and is available exclusively by calling 800-BOW-FLEX or online at www.bowflexselecttech.com. It also includes a six-week satisfaction guarantee, two-year limited warranty on all parts, five-year warranty on weight plates and a one-year warranty on labor.
