One area that often gets overlooked is the neck. A strong neck not only looks good, but it can also help prevent injuries and improve posture.
Here are five neck-friendly exercises for a stronger upper body:
#1 – Chin Tucks
Sit or stand with your shoulders relaxed and your head in a neutral position. Slowly bring your chin towards your neck, as if you’re making a double chin. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
#2 – Neck Rotations
Slowly turn your head to the right, then to the left, as far as comfortable. Hold for a few seconds on each side, then release. Repeat 10 times.
#3 – Shoulder Shrugs
Raise your shoulders up towards your ears, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
#4 – Shoulder Blade Squeeze
Sit or stand with your arms at your sides. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
#5 – Chest Stretch
Stand facing a wall with your arms at shoulder height, palms flat against the wall. Slowly lean forward until you feel a stretch in your chest. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times.
Incorporate these exercises into your regular workout routine for a stronger, healthier upper body. Remember to listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort.
