Arthur Jones Dies

Arthur Jones, whose invention of Nautilus exercise equipment offered a more-targeted approach to strength training and changed the idea of a workout, died Tuesday. He was 80.

Jones had been ill for several days and died of natural causes at his home, said his son, William Edgar Jones.

"He should be remembered as a man of extreme intelligence, extreme independence and probably one of the most unrecognized and unawarded inventors that ever existed," his son said.

Besides his son, Arthur Jones' survivors include two daughters.

Rest In Peace, Arthur.
