WEIGHTED LYING NECK EXTENSION / BENEFITS

The muscles at the back of your neck can be developed and strengthened with this effective neck exercise. It makes the neck much more adaptable, expanding the range of motion, relaxing the neck, and strengthening it against injuries thanks to its strong neck muscles.

Some muscles in the chest and neck can shorten and become tight over time when the head and shoulders drift forward from poor posture. This can perpetuate the bad posture that is causing neck pain. The neck strengthening exercises may alleviate neck pain and assist in loosening postural muscles.
