Because many people now have poor living habits, we also have many problems with our necks, especially our cervical spine. Therefore, we need to exercise our necks to alleviate them. These problems can also effectively exercise our neck muscles. So how to exercise neck muscles in the gym?
Supine weight-bearing neck lift
At the beginning, we lie flat on the bench, with our legs naturally relaxed on both sides of the bench. At this time, we hold the weight with both hands and place it on our forehead. At this time, our neck should be away from the bench and tilted back. When we place the weight on the front of our forehead, we need to exert force on the neck. , so that the head can be lifted upward, the higher the better. At this time, our neck strength is used to resist force, so it also requires relatively large neck strength to complete. When we lift to the limit, we lower our head and start moving again.
Bend and neck lift
First of all, our body is in a state of downward flexion, our legs remain straight, but our upper body is leaning down , at this time we place the barbell on the back of our neck and shoulders and fix it with both hands. At this time, adjust our posture and breathing, use our neck to exert force, and lift our body upwards to ensure that the body can lift upwards naturally. Until our bodies stand straight, we lean over and start the movement again. Complete a set of 20 at a time.
Self-resistance head left and right sides
The so-called self-resistance is actually using the strength of our arms as resistance. At the beginning, we sit on the stool, ensuring that our waist and back are straight and the body remains in a natural state. At this time, we put our arms on the right side of our head and exert pressure on our head to the left, but our head needs to resist the pressure and push our head down to the right until our neck reaches the limit. We retract the head upwards, switch to the right side and restart the movement.
The above is an introduction to the neck muscle exercises that are suitable for us to do in the gym. The neck muscle lines are perfect, and our neck looks relatively thin and straight, which can add a lot to our figure and improve our temperament.
