It was bad posture but I was keeping the Lumo Lift happy. Sometimes I found myself with a straight back but a craned neck and shoulders pushed forward. Sometimes I’m busy and just need to get work done without worrying about posture (probably a poor excuse). My arms come forward to type and move the mouse. My bad posture originates at my neck craning forward for a better view of the screen. The Lumo Lift is also only monitoring your relative position of your back. Remove the Lumo Lift and when you slouch you will hopefully straighten up without the buzz. Lumo is training you Pavlov-style. I straightened up more often than a simple string around the finger. The Lumo Lift is better than this in that it actually will buzz you on set intervals. Every time you look at that string you are reminded to sit up straight. The Lumo Lift is like tying a string around your finger. It feels unnatural and uncomfortable for a long time. After years of seeing nearly everyone in the office slouching it’s strange to see someone purposefully sit upright it looks unnatural and uncomfortable. It really is funny how many people notice good posture. My lower back was sore, I worked slower, and my coworkers asked why I was sitting up so straight. For the first few days I spent several hours in a row in near perfect posture. The Lumo Lift is helpful but it’s not a miracle worker. It requires muscle activation all day, every day particularly with your abs and butt. Sitting with proper posture at a desk is really difficult. There are hundreds of articles how sitting is the new smoking. Hundreds of millions of people sit behind a computer to work. 60% of the US is classified as a “white-collar job,” of which, the vast majority consist of office jobs also known as sitting-at-a-desk-all-day. You do not want it vibrating every time you bend over to pick something up. This is called “Coach Vibrations” and can be set between 3 seconds and 10 minutes. Through the Lumo Lift app, you will be able to set how long you slouch before it buzzes you. If you double tap the button while you are slouching, the Lumo Lift will buzz you every time you sit up straight. Therefore, it is entirely up to you to calibrate the device. You should find yourself double tapping the button many times throughout the day.ĭouble tapping the button will tell the Lumo Lift, “This is good posture, make sure I stay this way.” If you slouch from that calibrated position it will vibrate. You will actually double tap the square piece of metal on your shirt which is strongly connected to the button on the Lumo Lift device on the other side. You must tell the Lumo Lift what good posture is by quickly double tapping the button. The Lumo Lift device has no idea what good posture actually is out of the box.
