What's the best product to avoid slouching at your desk?

Question

I'm looking for one of these wearables (or other solution) to get into the habit of good posture at work.

Not a gadget. But this is a super helpful stretch/exercise for fixing your posture. My shoulders used to be pretty jacked up from sitting at a laptop all the time. I used to do these everyday (at gym or office). After a while it helps improve posture and no tech/devices needed. 😀

I would recommend using a reminder app like Due with with multiple notices set to remind you to sit up straight, take standing breaks, drink water, and look away from a screen periodically (20/20/20 rule).

Agree with Mike here.  Started doing these in physical therapy after a car accident and have been doing them for posture ever since.

If you really have a posture problem, this has been getting a lot of buzz on Kickstarter.  Was going to wait until it comes out to check out reviews.

Pavan Sethi · Answer

Definitely one of my best purchases.  Super cheap for a standing desk, quick/easy to set up, folds away when you don't need.

I wear Lumo Lift which gives gentle reminders to straighten back up. After a week I could see the difference because it really helps to build the habit.

The only huge drawback for me is a short battery life :( So you have to charge it every other day.

For ease of use & price this has been the best product I have found to make any environment healthier for my back & posture.

I really need to get one of these... I hate how chairs are always designed for "better posture" but I end up slouching uncomfortably in them anyways :(  I wish there was a chair designed for inevitable slouching and working at a desk

This one seems like a great way to keep your posture corrected at all times. I have pre-ordered one as well. 👍🏻

This will really help you fix your posture until you dont need it anymore and you will be sitting the right way on your own

It may not be the "best," but based on its cost performance and ease of use it could be. Plus you get to hear a cat meow whenever you mess up, although could that may be positive reinforcement of a negative behavior?

Anyways, simply install the app and it will tell you when you start slouching by using your computer's camera. Fun fact: Nekoze means "cat back" in Japanese, and cats have horrible posture… in Japan 😉
