New & Notable from Echelon, NordicTrack and Pepper
Also: Restaurant chains are adding more meat alternatives to their menus, and Apple continues to see success in 2022.
Just in time for all the New Year’s resolutions looking to step up their fitness game, NordicTrack has released the iSelect Adjustable Dumbbells — the first-ever voice-controlled adjustable dumbbells, according to the brand. The dumbbells can only be integrated with Amazon Alexa to automatically adjust weights based on vocal prompts — this means they will not work with Google Home or other smart home assistants — and you can also manually adjust them with the knob on the base. The weights can be adjusted from 5 to 50 pounds, which is the standard range for adjustable weights. Each purchase includes a free 30-day iFit membership, which otherwise would run you $15 a month — the membership gives you access to weightlifting classes that employ dumbbells to help guide your exercise. At $429 for a pair, the dumbbells are similar in price to other adjustable dumbbells on the market.
Pepper, the body-positive intimates brand that limits its offerings to AA, A and B cups, recently launched the Lift Up Push-Up Bra. The brand says that it is promoting the bra as a lift-up bra rather than a push-up bra “to celebrate and flatter what small-chest customers already have.” The bra is available in sizes 30AA to 40B and in two colors: Black and Sienna Rose.
