Thread: iposture - has anyone tried one of these?

Was reading the latest issue of "O" and saw a feature on the iposture, a device you hang around your neck and it vibrates when you are slumping. Has anyone tried out this thingy? Sounds so perfect for belllydancers - I'm good in real life, but totally slumpy when dancing some times.

Is there a website listed? I'd like to see it.

I think it's iposture.com - Posture for Life. Sorry, I should have written it down.

Genius! (although I'll probably wait for the $29.99 knockoff to appear at Walgreen's)

It actually sounds like a good idea, but visualizing this made me laugh. Dum tek, dum dum tek *buzzz*

I have this image of a dancer spinning and then BUZZZZZZ her hair instantly stands on end from an electric shock.

Well, I'll be the naysayer here. There is so much more to proper body use than "standing up straight", jacking your chest up, and locking your shoulders back. When you are using your body properly it is possible to be anywhere within a large range of positions. This device looks to me like it would encourage you to lock yourself rigidly into a painful and unnatural position.

Do you mean you've tried it and it doesn't work, or you think it wouldn't? It might be good as an additional reminder. Pavlovian - style. Kind of like when a guy stands up and immediately checks his fly.
