Attaching the device to your back, the UpRight Go provides real-time posture feedback, serving as a constant reminder to be mindful of your posture throughout the day.

Thermos 24oz Hydration Bottle w/ Smart Lid ($35)
Staying hydrated is an absolute necessity when staying fit, but if you have a hard time remembering to get your daily water intake, this bottle is for you. This water bottle measures your liquid intake and uses calculations based on personal data to determine how much water you should be consuming every day.
