What is Spiralflex Technolgy?

The Bowflex Revolution uses the same technology as the astronauts used on the space station to work out. Because free weights offer little resistance in space
NASA came up with a technology called SpiraFlex.
The technology involves elastic straps that are tightly wrapped around a coil. The coil is contained in a small canister that resembles the free weight plates that add heft to the exercise machines you typically encounter in a health club.
If you were to pick a standard 40-pound free weight off the floor of your gym, it would indeed weigh 40 pounds. But the plate you slide and stack on the Bowflex to provide that same 40 pounds of resistance actually weighs just 4 to 5 pounds. Similarly, the plate used to provide 10 pounds of resistance on the Bowflex weighs just about a pound. There are 5-, 10-, 20- and 40-pound packs.
What's more, the resistance provided by a regular dumbbell would vary depending on the angle at which you pick it up. With the power packs, the resistance stays constant throughout your range of motion.
