Whether you work from home or in the office, maintaining a healthy posture is essential for those who sit at a desk for long hours.
Slouching for long periods of time can lead to lower back pain, which about 80% of adults experience in their lifetimes, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
If you need help improving your posture, check out the Upright GO 2 (
$47.99 USD or
MX$2,346), a posture training device that is 25% off right now on Amazon.
The Upright GO 2 trains you to sit up straight with a small device that attaches to your upper back.
Once it's in place, the Upright GO 2 pairs with a companion app, compatible with iOS and Android, to start tracking your posture.
To remind you to sit up straight, the device will buzz when you slouch too much.
Don't worry: the vibration isn't painful, it's just annoying enough to fix your posture.

I tried the Upright GO 2 for a few days and felt the difference.
It made me more aware of my posture, and I found myself sitting straighter throughout the day.
Plus, the device is small enough that no one can tell you're using it.
So if you're prone to slouching, now is the perfect time to kick that bad habit.
Your back, and your wallet, will thank you.
This is the Upright GO 2
It comes with 10 reusable silicone stickers, plus you can buy replacements right from the app.
The Upright GO has two different modes: Training and Tracking.
If you are in training mode, slouching will cause the Upright GO (
$47.99 USD or
MX$ 2,346) gives you a vibration.
Tracking mode turns off the buzzing and only records your posture (although your phone will still send you a notification if you have poor posture for 15 minutes straight).
The buzz was a great reminder to straighten my back, and even after turning the device to tracking mode, I found myself hunched over and quickly sat back up.
How and how often to wash your towels, according to the experts
I used the tracker for several work days and the battery never came close to dying.
I just kept it on my desk, where I "trained" and left it charging overnight.
It charges with a USB-C cable, which comes in the box.
