I hear it all the time. “What do I need to do to ‘remember’ to sit up straight?” I’ve heard suggestions from telling people to set egg timers to setting up an hourly alarm on your watch. I know that software is available to remind you to sit up straight on your computer.
The main problem I’ve seen with all of these systems is that they can be ignored. When an alarm can just become part of the background noise of your typical work day, it ceases to become valuable. Even worse, sometimes the alarm goes off and you think you are maintaining good posture when, in reality, your posture grows worse by the minute.
So what to do about it? I’ve come across a posture reminder system that actually watches your posture. Set it up with a webcam and it will do its part to not just remind you every five minutes or every hour, but just when you need it. It can be the ever watchful eye of the posture reminder.
The cool thing is that it’s developer offers a free trial so you can check it out for yourself and see if it’s worth it. It won’t make you exercise, but letting this thing remind you enough times will make you wonder why you can’t stay upright on your own.
Once you realize how bad your posture currently is, you’ve got a benchmark to start making changes and seeing if any improvements are taking place.
