Dosho Granted Exclusive Rights to Market Newly Patented Fitness Technology

Newly patented technology offers fitness solution for road warriors.

Albany, California - August 1, 2005 - Dosho Design, Inc. (DDI), the leader in innovative fitness equipment design and manufacturing, today announced that it has exclusive rights to market a new product based on a patent granted for travel fitness by the United States Patent and Trademark office.
Shifferaw has been granted U.S. patent number 6,921,354 for a portable exercise device that gives its users a full body workout. The technology, "exercise harness and method", has rugged nylon straps that insert into the hinge side of an open door and make it easy to exercise at home, office, or hotel room.

The invention has resulted in a cleverly designed mini-gym that is easy to carry and takes less than a minute to set up. The user simply inserts the straps in the door and uses the weight of his body as resistance for the exercises. It builds and strengthens muscles to sculpt legs, butt, abs, arms, back, shoulders, and chest. The user can change the resistance by leaning closer or farther from the door for a customized strength training workout.

The technology was developed and patented by Tessema D. Shifferaw, the inventor of Bowflex and an expert in fitness equipment design. Shifferaw has already been awarded 14 patents and has 4 pending patents world wide for fitness equipment. This patent is exclusively licensed to DDI for world wide marketing and distribution.

"I am from Ethiopia, and a majority of the people in third world countries cannot afford exercise equipment", says Shifferaw, founder and CEO of DDI. "I designed Jam Gym as a poor man¹s gym as it is small, inexpensive, and effective. But I have found that it also offers a great workout to executives who are on the road".
