Neck Exercises
✅ The neck muscles consist of a group of both delicate and powerful muscles responsible for essential functions such as movement, stability, and support of the head and neck. These muscles help maintain balance, proper posture, and reduce stress on the spine. Strengthening the neck muscles not only prevents issues like neck pain and muscle stiffness but is also vital for improving athletic performance and preventing potential injuries. Below, you’ll find 30 effective neck exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the neck muscles, helping you build a stronger and healthier neck.
