"I sat on in it for two hours today and I can feel it working the core. It was great feeling the effect without doing much. I’m not beyond getting one for the office too!" - B.E.
"I've had debilitating lower back spasms in the past. When the same area started re-stressing from sitting for too long, I found Sitfit helped increase flexibility and reduce muscle tension." - R.V.
"All my clients (patients and athletes) could benefit from building their core!" - Joanna L., RMT
"As I regularly go work out with a professional trainer, this Sitfit compliments what I do outside of the office. Better sitting on the Sitfit than my regular leather chair in the office!" - J.Y.

What is Cervical Spondylosis?
August 13th, 2010
Cervical Spondylosis, or cervical osteoarthritis, is not a specific condition but rather a catch-all term to describe deterioration in the neck joints which affect both sexes over the age of 40.
Indications of Cervical Sponylosis
- Feeling off-balance
- Stiffness in the legs or neck
- Neck pain
- Lack of strength or numbness in the legs or arms
- Difficulties with bladder control
These conditions are simply a function of age and get progressively worse as one gets older. Ironically, many of these conditions are caused by the body trying to heal itself. As with broken bones, where new bone-growth is stimulated additional bone forms causing protrusions or bone spurs.
If you were to look at an X-Ray, CT Scan or MRI (which your doctor may recommend for you) you would notice that everybody later in life has some form of cervical spondylosis. It’s just natural. Thankfully, most people don’t experience the worst symptoms such as stiffness, muscle spasms and pain.

Welcome and Introductions
July 19th, 2010
Welcome to our blog about posture, back pain and core. I say “our”, because this blog is being written by me, Robert, and my wife Carolyn. Both of us bring different perspectives and expertise to the blog. I am an entrepreneur who brings products and services to the market that make a difference for people. Carolyn is a personal trainer with extensive certifications and expertise in the area of healthy aging, clinical conditions and general fitness. She is also an experienced stuntwoman in film and television as well as a springboard and platform diving coach.
My current focus, is creating an online, wholesale and traditional retail business around a product called the Sitfit. The Sitfit is the star of show at www.buildyourcore.com. The product offers multiple benefits in the areas posture, core strengthening and back pain. I feel so strongly about the benefits of the product and am so committed to bringing it to the attention of North Americans that I have become the self-appointed “Sitfit Evangelist”. The blog is not about selling Sitfits though.
Carolyn and I are committed to providing you with insights, ideas and background in areas that are important to you. The posts will revolve around the areas in the title as well as related areas. I can’t promise that we won’t make the occasional reference to the Sitfit – but only because we know what a difference it can make. If you feel that a Sitfit is something you want or you know others who could benefit from it then I hope that you will buy one from us. If not, I trust that what you read will be of interest and value.
