Are you guilty of hunching over your laptop at your desk? Do you slouch when you’re standing with friends at a bar? Did your mother ever tell you to stand up straight? Lumo Lift offers a gentle reminder to improve your posture.

 

The posture coach gadget tracks your activity and posture throughout the day. At about one inch wide, 1.75 inches long and a quarter of an inch thick, the Lumo Lift is easy-to-wear and unobtrusive. The customizable magnetic clasp lets you choose how to wear it. Clip the Lift to your clothing anywhere on your chest or shoulders for a proper read. Lumo Lift discreetly vibrates when you slouch, reminding you to sit and stand tall. It tracks your daily steps taken, calories burned and time spent in strong posture.

 

Lumo Lift was named one of Time’s best inventions of 2014. In addition to being the only fitness tracker on the market measuring posture, the device provides personalized feedback and suggestions for improvement. Throughout the day, you will receive push notifications with personalized recommendations.

 

Lumo Lift syncs with devices like iPhones or PCs with Windows 7 or higher. It holds a charge for up to five days. A total recharge takes less than two hours. It is sweat- and water-resistant, though not fully waterproof. The Lumo Lift starts at $99.99 and ships in one to two business days.
