Neck Rolls Stretching Exercise - Stretch your neck to reduce neck tension

Neck Rolls is a deceptively simple stretch exercise but very important. Reducing neck tension might is the best start to relax the entire body.
 

Execution Steps

1. Stand upright with hands at your sides. Relax your whole body by taking deep breaths.
    
2. Now slowly turn your head towards one side until your chin touches the chest. Keep turning your head touching your left ear to left shoulder.
    
3. Continue the neck rotation around the neck and complete one full rotation and get back to front position.
    
4. This complete neck rotation will fully stretch your neck. Finish 5 reps and repeat from Right to Left.

 

Points to Remember

• Be as slow as possible
• Stretch as far as possible.
