Head Raise Straight Down On Stomach

Video coming soon...

The head raise straight down on stomach workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily engages the neck.

By lying face down and lifting the head straight up, the bodyweight creates resistance for the neck muscles.

While this exercise may also engage some auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on the neck.

It is important to avoid overstating the effect of bodyweight on these auxiliary muscles.

Lie face down on a flat surface, with your legs extended straight and your arms at your sides.
Place your forehead on the ground, keeping your neck in a neutral position.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine.
Slowly lift your head off the ground, using only the muscles in the back of your neck.
Continue to lift your head until you feel a gentle stretch in the back of your neck.
Hold this position for a brief moment, focusing on maintaining proper form.
Lower your head back down to the starting position, keeping your movements controlled and smooth.

Start by lying flat on your stomach with your legs extended and your arms resting by your sides. Position your forehead on the mat, keeping your neck in a neutral position.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and prevent excessive strain on your lower back.
Slowly lift your head off the mat, maintaining a long and straight spine. Avoid any jerky movements or straining your neck. Focus on using your neck muscles to initiate the lift.
As you raise your head, imagine lengthening the back of your neck and reaching the crown of your head towards the ceiling. This will help you maintain proper alignment and engage the correct muscles.
Hold the raised position for a few seconds, feeling the muscles in the back of your neck working. Then, slowly lower your head back down to the starting position with control and precision.
