#2 Neck Flexion

Neck flexion is primarily an isometric strength training exercise that targets the neck muscles with ultimate precision. In addition, the exercise is very effective for relieving neck pain, making it one of the best neck exercises for both strength training and recovery.

Instructions

Step 1: Stand or sit straight on a flat bench. Place your palms on your forehead for support.

Step 2: Move your head forward using your neck muscles with a motto to touch your chin to the chest. However, as this is an isometric exercise, do not actually move your head and apply pressure on the palms.

Step 3: Hold for 30 seconds and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: You could take help of a wall or any other rigid surface while performing this exercise.
