Neck flexion
How to do it
- Stand or sit, with your back straight.
- Place your palms on your forehead for optional resistance.
- Gently bend your head forward, bringing your chin toward your chest, resisting with your hands if you're using resistance.
- Return to the starting position under control.
Key to the execution: The movement must be slow and controlled — the neck is a sensitive area, no sudden strain.
Common mistakes
- You use too much resistance and strain your cervical vertebrae.
- You perform the movement abruptly instead of slowly and under control.
