Have your parents ever told you to sit up straight? If you’re one of the many people who slumps or slouches, there is now a device created to help you fix your posture.
LumoBack is a sensor that you strap on to your lower back and if you begin to slouch, the LumoBack will buzz! The device will buzz after four seconds of bad posture and then again after 11 seconds of bad posture; if your posture fails to improve after that, the LumoBack will stop nagging you because it will assume you don’t want to straighten up. But when you get up, sit down or change positions, the timer will reset itself.
The LumoBack goes for a pricy $150 and the buzzing can be turned off, but that seems like a waste of a good product! There is also a smartphone app associated with the product which will give you little encouragements to move around and get active!
Is the LumoBack something you’d be interested in buying?
