Let's do some exercise, NOW..........will you?

Hi Mimpi, I felt like I was in aerobatic making steps. That is a good thing to do. We hardly take care of our body and specially the neck. These are the important free hand exercise that we can do easily without much pain.

Hi Mimpi, This is funny, I'm actually doing it right now, following your every instruction! My co-worker just gave me that odd look LOL. But yes, the neck deserves to be taken cared of just like what we do with our other body parts. Thing is, we normally give importance to those that make us look attractive - the face, waistline, legs, the behind, and the upper front, neglecting some parts that are functional but not as "ornamental" as the others like the neck. The neck permits movement, accepts weight transmission and supports the vertebrae (now a little science there). Indeed the neck deserves to be pampered too. Going back to the exercise... it really feels good. I should do this more often LOL.

Your timing is perfect.I feel relaxed after doing this exercise.You are a sweet girl.I have brought back my face to the normal position to thank you.

Well of course, my friend. This is great, how clever of you to have thought of taking care of our necks. I agree, really it is most neglected so count me in with this exercise.

I work out my neck probably on a regular basis, with out doing them I dont think that I could get through the day with out doing them my neck tenses up way to easily. I was always told that doing that decreases the chances of having a turkey neck when your older lol.

Thanks Mimpi! I gave it a try and I will be doing it a lot more often. It loosens the tight muscles too. I used to include neck exercises in my regime years ago but as of late I have been forgetting the regime itself! My husband fixed my old bicycle so I don’t have excuses not to ride my bike although it is winter here...OK I’ll warm up by riding faster and when I get home I will definitely give my neck a little workout! Thanks again for a great tip!

Now..Why not ? Can we have some music as well along with the exercise ? I need this at work the most, because of the extremely cramped postion that i work in. Although i get to do it a few times, i invariably feel the stiffness at the end of the day. Thanks for bringing this up, because i know what problems with a stiff neck one go through. I had one for 3 months and needed extensive physiotherapy to set it right. The underlying cause may have been something else, but as you have so rightly put it, we tend to neglect the neck region. And it feels good too, to get some of the tension released off the region.

Hi Mimpi! Many thanks for reminding us that we need to exercise our neck, as it is one of the most important body parts of ours. We being careless, sometimes takes less care of our most important body parts such as neck and feet. Our feet carry entire burden of our body, however, we remain indifferent towards our feet. You have given a very bright idea to mobilise our neck, however the problem is if I start doing it, while sitting in between my colleagues in my office, all eyes will turn towards me and they will say - "Are you OK, Deepak"[em]lol[/em]. I can do the exercise, when no one is around or I can do it when I involve and request other colleagues to do the same, as I am doing. I have taken note of your useful suggestion and I will implement it as soon as possible. Good Post!

Hi Mou i am sure half of this discussion is for females only specially the using of Moisturizer As far as Neck Exercise is concerned, i just did it, Ok

brb Stretching my stiff neck muscles...

This is great. Thanks for reminding us how important our neck are. Now I am trying it and will make it a habit now in the office.

I am also guilty of the fact that we sometimes neglect our neck part. But now I am making up for all my short comings before. I always start moisturizing amd massaging from my neck going up to my face. In this way I will not forget it. I also wear a shawl sometimes to protect my neck from the sun's damaging rays.

Thanks for this exercise :)

wow, it is very useful for me as i often stay in the front of the computer during a whole day, and see the screen straightly, so often two or three hours later, i will feel my neck very tired and ache,from the back to neck are all stiffly.thank you for you sharing, i will do this exercise from now on. good luck and have a nice day!

cute. I do exercise while watching tv. When a commerical comes on I will do sit ups or leg lifts. I try and do 100 sit ups a day if not more. I even do it sometimes while my shows are on. Since I can lay, watch tv and pick my head up. I found this really awesome sit up where you put your legs to your chest and do crunches. It feels awesome.

Add those butt squeezes for numb butts, too!! LOL

Wow, that does loosen up a lot of the tension in my neck. Thanks.

wow... lol... i never thought i'd really do exercising today, i have read this discussion from the notice in my email..., opened it to check what was this all about... reading from the discussion, i did followed it through from the sitting straight on my chair to the turning of face and the rubbing my neck!!!! lol... . that was good and it feels good too, ive been sitting here in front of my pc for hours... and that little bit of exercise was a nice time out... thanks

I have tried this thank you for the information. When my neck feel stiff again I will do this exercise.

I do this exercise regularly during the day as my neck gets really sore if I do not do it! The head is a pretty heavy thing, so you need to take care of the neck muscles so that it can continue to hold your head up correctly! I do these stretches first thing in the morning before I stretch any other part of my body. I do it many times during the day in front of the computer and also while waiting at traffic lights in the car! I also need to do this while I am doing Archery (which I do regularly as a sport), as Archery involves lots of time with your neck twisted sideways!
