Mobile Exercise System Gets Kickstarted

TaoLast month the TAO WellShell, which was demonstrated at this past CES, recently launched as a Kickstarter campaign. TAO-Wellness is looking to develop the world’s first mobile, isometric exercise system for a fall 2014 release.

“We received a great deal of interest from the tech and fitness community as a result of our launch at CES,” says Philo Northrup, president and co-founder of TAO-Wellness. “But the question we kept getting asked was, ‘When and where can I get a TAO?’ We decided to optimize TAO for manufacturing and turn to Kickstarter to deliver them to our supporters as quickly as possible.”

The Kickstarter campaign will run through April 17. Video after the jump

CES: Isometric View

TAO-WellShellAt CES this week TAO-Wellness introduced the TAO, the world’s first mobile, isometric exercise system, which can be used by just about anyone, just about anywhere. This handheld unit, the TAO WellShell, works with an app for Android and iOS devices, and is based on the concept of isometrics – the science of applying pressure as a way to improve muscle strength, tone and circulation.

“Our vision is to provides every individual with a simple, effective, motivating and time saving way to enhance fitness and wellness – anywhere, anytime,” says Dr. Kosta Yanev, CEO and co-founder of TAO-Wellness.

The TAO WellShell is designed to fit into the user’s hand where it can provide pressure during measured isometric exercises. The unit offers TTP (Tilt, Tap, Press) navigation that means there are no buttons to press just pressure!
