Want to look like you’ve lost 10 pounds and feel better too? And I mean right this second? Stand up straight. That’s right. Stand up straight, shoulders back, head high, stomach in. Now, go look in the mirror. What’d I tell you? Instant weight loss.
I know, I know. You have every intention of standing, walking and sitting with good posture but, as the day drags on, so do you and by midafternoon (midmorning for some, no doubt) you’re back to your usual drooping self. If you didn’t develop it in childhood, it takes a seriously concerted effort to execute good posture – but here’s something that might help …
Ever heard of IntelliSkin? It’s a performance-enhancing apparel brand that, according to the company’s literature, has been “clinically proven to improve posture, recovery and overall well-being.” It’s worn by athletes, rock stars and countless weekend warriors who want to protect their shoulders and backs while working out – or just walking around. And this summer, the company has added the IntelliSkin Zipper Collection to its growing list of posture gear.
The IntelliSkin Zipper Collection, MSRP $100., provides posture health benefits for men and women with tee shirt and sports bra designs. It includes PostureCue™ technology which helps train your body to stand properly; the front zipper design makes the tee shirt easy to put on and take off and you can adjust the opening and still receive the same posture benefits. Cool Jade™ fabric works to decrease skin temperature by 3-4 degrees – great on hot days or during a workout. Moisture wicking prevents sweat from sticking to the skin and there’s even anti-odor technology to keep the garment smelling fresh. In addition, UPF 50+ offers protection from the sun during outdoor activities.
Is this the perfect summer workout gear or what?
Says co-founder and designer, Dr. Tim Brown, sports physician, “The Zipper feature is particularly ideal for post-op spine, neck and shoulder support; and for those who have trouble lifting arms above the shoulder due to injury or arthritis. Even better, the new cooling fabric is a perfect addition for the warm summer months … ”
The following info is from the company’s press release: “Supplementing IntelliSkin’s growth this year is a groundbreaking baseball study with the Andrews Institute, which found young pitchers throwing faster and feeling less fatigued while wearing IntelliSkin Foundation shirts. A previous study with the UC Irvine men’s volleyball team found no instances of shoulder pain or injury during their time wearing IntelliSkin apparel. This May, UCI won its second NCAA Division I title in the last four years. IntelliSkin products have also shown to help reduce the likelihood of neck, back and shoulder pain, support proper spinal alignment, minimize the risk of injury associated with poor posture, stimulate and tone muscles, and improve respiration and oxygen flow to the muscles.”

love the sports bra idea, but not the price !
Hey Deb! I know. It’s expensive. But check out the website. This apparel is supposed to do so many good things for your body, it’s insane. There’s another sports bra on the site – and it more gorgeous than any sports bra I’ve ever seen – that sells for less. I might get the tee. If it does what it says it does, it’s worth the price. I will let you know. Of course. xo – Mel
Sounds amazing. Nice to see that they have a men’s tee also.
Totes amaze! Glad you think so too. I see his and hers in our future. xo, Mel
