Neck Stretch

Neck stretch

To stretch your neck:

• Bend your head forward and slightly to the right.
• With your right hand, gently pull your head downward. You'll feel a nice, easy stretch along the back left side of your neck. Don't tug too hard. Remember, you want to hold a comfortable — not painful — stretch.
• Hold the stretch for about 30 seconds.
• Repeat on the opposite side.

Neck Stretching

One of the major benefits of Stretching is that it increases your flexibility. While Stretching may appear a bit bland as compared with resistance exercises such as Training with Free Weights and Weight Training Exercises, without a good stretch, you will not be able to minimize the risk of injury.

For safety purposes, do not overstretch or bounce your neck to any direction when doing the Neck Stretch.

	STEP 1: Stand (with feet hip-width apart) or sit with your shoulders relaxed and arms hanging loosely at sides.
	STEP 2: Gently tilt your head sideways to one side to feel the stretch in the other side of the neck. Hold for 8-10 seconds on each side. Repeat 2-3 times.

Stress makes your muscles tense up and can cause headache, stiff neck, sore shoulders and a knotted back. Full body stretching will relax your muscles, help you to breathe deeper and release all of the accumulated tension your body takes each day.
