Injury prevention tips:

Start light and focus on proper form to avoid injury.

Gradually increase resistance and volume as your neck strength improves.

Always warm up before neck training and stop if you experience any pain

Lets get started:

The neck exercises you learn in school can do more damage than good.

So use the:

1) Neck Flexion

This exercise targets the front of the neck:

• Stand or sit with good posture
• Slowly lower your chin towards your chest
• Hold for a few seconds, then return to starting position
• Perform for 20-30 reps

The truth about neck exercises.

Traditional methods are to blame for increased neck pain.

The fix?

2) Neck Extension

This works the back of the neck:

• Lie face down on a bench with your head off the edge • Slowly raise your head up as far as comfortable
• Lower back down with control
• Perform for 20-30 reps

Learn the most important thing about neck training:

lateral flexibility.

3) Lateral Neck Flexion

Targets the sides of the neck:

• Tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder
• Hold briefly, then return to center
• Repeat on the other side
• Perform 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps per side

Give me 15 seconds and I'll teach you how to build your upper trapezius muscles better than any gym trainer.

4) Dumbbell Shrugs

Great for building the upper trapezius:

• Hold dumbbells at your sides
• Raise your shoulders up towards your ears

The secret to building your neck and shoulders at the same time:

5) Upright Rows

6) Neck Plank

The perfect isometric exercise for neck strength:

• Place the towel between your head and the wall
• Start with your feet close to the wall
• As you get stronger do rotation from side-to-side
• Hold for 20-30 seconds
• Do 2-3 sets

If you can spare 5 minutes a day, then you can improve your neck posture.

7) Banded Neck Retractions

Targets deep neck flexors:

• Loop a resistance band behind your head
• Tuck chin and press head back into the band
• Hold briefly, then return to start
• Perform 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps

4) Dumbbell Shrugs
5) Upright Rows
6) Neck Plank
7) Banded Neck Retractions
