I think all women are obsessed with slimming exercises! There are exercises for getting slimmer waist, thighs, arms, and butts. But we often tend to ignore our necks. Yes, our neck also accumulates fat, primarily because of the endless junk food we eat. Hormonal imbalance and medicinal treatments are also responsible for this fat accumulation.
If you want your face to look perfect, you should also concentrate on having a well-toned, slim neck. Apart from eating healthy, here are five exercises that you all must try to see an effective result.
1. Chin to chest neck stretch:
- Sit on the floor with your legs stretched.
- Now place your hand behind your neck.
- Hold in this position for 30 seconds.
- Release slowly.
2. Tongue push-ups:
It sounds a little crazy, right? Just like a regular push-up exercise give you a more robust and toned body, this push-up exercise gives you a well-toned, muscular neck.
- Lift your chin as high as possible and look at the ceiling!
- Hold in this position for 30 seconds
- Release slowly.
3. Side neck stretch and neck twist:
Side neck stretch – This exercise has two versions. While the first one is comparatively easy, the second one will be a little more stressful. You can start with the more accessible version and then move on to the second one.
Easy method –
- Sit on a chair. Keep your shoulder and hands firm.
- Hold in this position for 10 seconds.
- Release slowly.
- Repeat the same for the other side too.
Not-so-easy method –
- Sit on the floor with your legs crossed.
- Place your left hand on the floor, a foot away from your hip.
- Hold in this position for 10 seconds and release slowly.
- Repeat the same exercise for the other side too.
Neck Twist-
- Sit on a chair, and keep your shoulder firm.
- Hold in this position for 10 seconds.
- Release slowly.
- Now repeat for the left side.
4. Isometric neck exercise:
- Stand straight.
- Place your hands on your forehead and try to push your head back.
- Do the same, placing your hand at the back of your head.
- You can also practice it by keeping one hand at the side of your head at a time.
5. Plate neck resistance:
This is a super effective exercise. But it would help if you practiced this at a gym, under the guidance of some instructors.
Lying face up-
- Lie face up on a flat bench, keeping your whole body straight and with your traps, neck, and head off the bench.
- Place a weight plate on your forehead.
- Lower your head, along with the weight, while breathing in.
Lying face down-
- Lie face down on a flat bench, keeping your whole body straight and with the upper chest, neck, and head off the bench.
- Place a weight plate on the back of your head.
- Lower your head, along with the weight, while breathing in.
Add these exercises to your daily exercise routine, and you will get a well-contoured, slim, and toned neck within a month!
