Got Bad Posture? No Worries, Check Out How I Used the ALEX Wearable Posture Tracker and Coach!
This post brought to you by ALEX Wearable Posture Tracker and Coach. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Your Life After 25.
Growing up in England I remember going to Catholic school and having to adhere to strict rules of etiquette and always having terrific posture. When I moved to America at the age of 9 I remember people constantly complimenting me on my posture, in fact, I had perfect posture all the way up until I was about 18. It’s amazing how over the years I’ve gotten really lax about my posture and now in My life after 25 it’s definitely taking a toll on my body.
I know I’m not the only one who constantly works at a desk, computer or laptop… and even if you don’t work on a computer all day, many of us spend hours hunched down over our cell phones. Our attachment to tech is definitely shaping the way we communicate, but it’s also shaping the way our bodies look and feel. With that said, I decided it was time to find a solution to fixing my bad posture. And that’s where the ALEX Wearable Posture Tracker and Coach comes in.
The ALEX Wearable Posture Tracker and Coach is the first wearable posture tracker that accurately measures the angle of your neck and position of your head. With that information, it coaches you towards better posture, every day. ALEX is lightweight to wear, discreet and sits comfortably around the back of your neck. That means you can wear it to work, out and about or wherever you please without looking conspicuous. So how does it work? It’s a gradual but effective training process. ALEX gently vibrates when you slouch into poor posture, coaching you toward perfect pain-free posture. The cool part is ALEX is connected to a mobile app that will keep track of your progress over time and monitors your posture in real time. With its long lasting battery ALEX lasts up to seven days without needing to be recharged.
I like to think of the ALEX Wearable Posture Tracker and Coach as bumpers for your posture. We all want to improve our posture and can easily try to sit properly each day, but with the proper coaching and tools we can do it more effectively. They say it takes 21 days to create a habit, so I’m thinking wearing the ALEX for at least 21 days will train your body and mind into sitting properly. And hey, if you still need your bumpers you can continue to wear it just to keep up with the progress on the app. I really liked how easy it was to setup and connect; once I took it out of the box all I had to do was charge it up, download the app, connect it to the app via bluetooth and then make sure I wore it properly.
The cool part is the ALEX doesn’t need to be connected to your app via bluetooth at all times, there is actually a memory card within the device that automatically transmits to your phone when the app is turned on. So who’s ready to get their posture back on track? I know you didn’t think we’d go over all these awesome features without giving a lucky reader a chance to win, lol.
