With the development of modern society, many people have become head-downers. They look down at their mobile phones all the time, which causes soreness in the neck muscles. If you want to relieve neck problems, you still need to exercise your neck muscles. So what do you think is the best way to train neck muscles? Let’s go take a look below!
How to do neck training
The basic method without equipment is manual resistance training, that is, Apply force to the head forward, backward or sideways with your hands, and force the neck in the opposite direction to resist flexion and extension.
The advanced muscle training method without equipment is the neck bridge, which is divided into front bridge and rear bridge, which are the front and back parts of neck muscle training. Note that cervical bridge muscle training is dangerous because it puts greater pressure on the cervical spine and is not suitable for beginners. It must not be easily imitated without the guidance of professionals! When bearing weight, you can use a headgear to apply resistance to the head in different directions. The principle is the same as freehand resistance muscle training. Stretch bands can serve a similar purpose.
One of the main functions of the upper trapezius muscle is to lift the scapula. The most targeted training movements are various types of weight-bearing shrugs, such as farmer's walks and deadlifts that require lifting heavy objects. Items can also be included in this part of muscle training.
Neck muscle training is actually not an easy task compared to muscles in other parts of the body. Only long-term training can achieve the above effects. I would like to remind all my friends that during training, you must do a good job of warming up and protecting yourself, protect your own safety, and do within your ability. Do not make a training plan that is beyond your own strength. Of course, it is best to conduct muscle training under the guidance of a fitness coach.
What are the benefits of neck training
A strong neck can help resist external stress The impact force can reduce the swing range of the head, which can reduce the shock intensity of the brain and thereby reduce the dizziness caused by the blow; secondly, when the side of the neck is hit, it will compress the carotid artery and cause cerebral ischemia, causing dizziness. Strong neck muscles can cushion the impact of a blow and reduce pressure on the carotid arteries.
