Posture-Correcting Gadgets

The Lumo Lift Debuted at CES 2014

— January 9, 2014 — Lifestyle
The makers of Lumo Lift are bringing proper posture to the future in a streamlined way. People are perceived differently when they stand up straight; they not only feel better with themselves, but they also send a message of confidence. It’s easy to slouch, and most times we don’t even realize we are.

The Lumo Lift from Lumo Body Tech is a magnetic gadget that can be attached to your shirt collar, lapel or even under your shirt for discreetness. Lumo Lift is compatible with your smart phone, to keep track of your progress. Activate the PowerUp session and Lumo Lift sends a gentle vibration when you slouch or hunch. It also measures the amount of steps you take, calories burnt and the amount of time you spent in good posture. Its battery lasts up to five days and can completely recharge in less than two hours.

Furthermore, Lift provides insights and recommendations to continually help you and improve. Available for pre-order for $59, mothers and ballet teachers alike can revel in perfect posture.
