Head Harness Neck Resistance
Sets: 3
Reps: 8-12 (try to increase the weight after each set)
Rest: 2-3 minutes of rest between each set
Advice: Grab a small to medium sized towel and fold it length-wise
several times. Stand with you feet about shoulder width apart and
lean forward slightly. Wrap the towel around the back of you head
and hold the ends of the towel with each hand. Perform this exercise
by simply moving your head up and down while providing constant
resistance with the towel.
Exercise: Lying
Face Up Place Neck Resistance
Sets: 3
Reps: 8-12 (try to increase the weight after each set)
Rest: 2-3 minutes of rest between each set
Advice: Lie on your back on a flat bench with your upper
shoulders at the top of the bench, allowing for your head and neck
to be extended beyond the edge of the bench. Set a light weight
(2.5 pounds or less) on your forehead, holding it in place with
both hands. Beginning with your head back and down, slowly move
your head upward as high as you can using only your neck muscles.
Return to the start position and repeat.
Exercise: Isometric
Neck Exercises - Front And Back
Sets: 3
Reps: 8-12 (try to increase the weight after each set)
Rest: 2-3 minutes of rest between each set
Advice: For the front exercise, place your hands flat on
your forehead. Next, firmly push your forehead forward against your
hands. The key to this exercise is to not allow your forehead to
move forward so as to create and maintain constant tension on your
neck muscles. Continue pushing forward for a 10 second count and
then relax and switch to the back or rear part of this exercise.
For the rear exercise, begin by clasping your hands behind you head.
Next, firmly push the back of your head against your hands. The
key to this exercise is to not allow your head to move backward
so as to create and maintain constant tension on your neck muscles.
Continue pushing for 10 seconds and then relax and switch to the
front part of this exercise and repeat.
