Head Forwards Stretch (Neck and Shoulder Stretches)
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 Head Forwards Stretch.

STEP 1: Stand (with feet hip-width apart) or sit with your shoulders relaxed; arms hanging loosely at sides. Keep your back straight.
|
 |
STEP 2: Gently drop your head forward until you feel the stretch in both the neck and upper back. Hold for 8-12 seconds.

It would be relaxing if we get into a really good Stretching session to release all of the accumulated tension our bodies take each day. For a great full, upper, or lower body Stretching Sequence, go to Fitness Exercises - Stretching Sequences.
