Stronger neck

Strengthening your neck is essential to prevent injuries, improve posture, and relieve accumulated tension, especially if you spend many hours sitting or in front of a screen.

But aesthetically, you'll look much stronger than you actually are. In fact, a man with a strong neck and athletic build appears larger than one with a muscular build and a thin neck. Furthermore, shirts and jackets fit much better, so you'll notice a significant difference when wearing a suit.

And remember that many neck and head pains stem from strengthening the trapezius muscle while neglecting to do the same for the neck. Because they are connected, an imbalance of forces is created, generating this tension and potential injuries.

Here are some exercises to strengthen your neck:
Isometric push-ups: Place your hand on your forehead and try to push it forward while resisting with your hand. Hold the position for 10 seconds and repeat 3 times. Do the same, placing your hand on the back and on each side of your head, resisting in the opposite direction.
You can also use an elastic band instead of your hand.

Neck rotation: Sit or stand upright and slowly rotate your head from side to side, trying to bring your chin towards your shoulder without forcing it. Do 10 repetitions on each side.

You don't need to apply too much pressure to avoid injury. Because it's such a neglected muscle group, you can achieve good growth with minimal effort. Just be consistent and don't forget to stretch afterward.

Performing these exercises regularly will improve strength, relieve tension, and reduce the risk of pain or injury.
