Topic description

When standing upright, sitting or lying on your back, place an elasticated band around your forehead and hold/fix it with the hands of your bent arms in front of your head (elbows at chest height, hands placed in front of your forehead). Tilt your head slightly forwards and backwards to stretch/tension the band and return to the starting position (neck flexion/retraction).

Attention:
Movement only takes place in the neck (upper body and arms remain stable).

Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.

Material

1 mini band

1 seating option (e.g. chair, plyo box or vaulting box) ► depending on the starting position
