iPosture

iPosture is an app that’s goal is to lead you through exercises aimed at improving your posture. I downloaded this app because my posture is horrible and I could probably add a few inches and give the illusion of a few lost pounds if I just straightened up. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the app  but I was pleasantly surprised with everything that’s inside this one – and it was free!

The "Groups" section of the app gives you lists of exercises that will  help you improve your posture. There is a huge list here, grouped into different types of exercise. There’s everything different  lunges to floor abdominal exercises to ball exercises, and more.  You browse the list and then touch the exercise you’d like to try. This pulls up instructions on how to do the exercise as well as photographs of people doing them.

Touch the "Learn" button at the bottom of the screen and you get a list of articles about lifestyle, exercise and your posture. The "iPosture" button takes you to an advertisement for iPosture’s product that they sell on their website. This type of advertisement doesn’t bother me in a free app.

My favorite part of the iPosture app is under the  "Routines" button. Here the developers have assembled exercise routines for you to follow. Choose your level from beginner, advanced or 10-minute power core and then get a list of what to do. Touch the exercise and get the directions. Easy.

Due to my pregnancy induced laziness and current couch potato status I haven’t actually tried any of the exercises but I’m definitely keeping this app on my phone and in a few months time I’ll be giving it a true test drive.
