Trying the Upright Go Posture Corrector
Like alot of people, I struggle to stand up straight. Ive tried braces that pull your shoulders back but they really didnt work. One day I was scrolling through Amazon and found the Upright Go posture corrector. It is a small device that sticks to your back, works with your phone to determine when your slouching, and vibrates to remind you to sit up straight. So I bought it to see if it would fix my bad posture.
It comes in a nice box with a charger and several gel stickers that stick to the back of the device and your skin. I plugged it in to charge overnight and downloaded the upright go app to my phone.
It is a little pricey at around $67 on Amazon (see the bottom of this post)
GETTING STARTED
unplugging the device from the charger I place it on my upper back in between my shoulder blades and go into the app on my phone to set my posture
All you do is hit the ‘set posture’ button and stand straight for a few seconds so it can set your personal limits. As you can see below the middle picture is me standing straight and the last picture is me hunched over.
Everytime I stray away from the posture I set, shown in the last picture above, the devices vibrates much like a phone. It can get pretty irritating if you dont remain upright. . . which is kind of the point haha.
This is what it looks like on your back. As you can see its easy to cover with your hair or clothing, noone ever notices it when Im wearing it
APP STATS
The Upright Go app that you download to your phone not only operates your device but it tracks your stats and progress. This is very cool because it tells you how much you have maintained your posture throughout the day and as time goes by. Its nice to see progress like that.
You can also change the device to tracking instead of training. This feature will only track you throughout the day instead of training you with the device vibrating when you arent upright. This would be helpful to see if you need to continue wearing the device or if you are upright most of the day without the training. Cool!
DOES IT WORK?
After wearing the device for a day or so I noticed myself making a conscious effort to sit and stand straighter, my device wasnt vibrating as often, yay! I cant tell you how annoying that vibrating is lol
Each day was better than the next and I noticed my back started feeling great as well. I really didnt have back pain that often but it is noticeable how great I feel due to better posture.
After wearing for a week I am already seeing and feeling great results. Im very excited as Ive never had this kind of results with any other posture fixing device Ive used, and definitely not as quickly. I plan to wear this another week, per the instructions of the upright go device. I highly recommend this for anyone that struggles with poor posture, I wish I had this years ago when I was younger!
Alicia and I were just talking about you using this. I think she wants to try it. Thanks for sharing
Thanks I love it!
