AMY MCCAULEY: Hi. I'm going to demonstrate how to do the front of the neck exercises. Place your hands onto the front of the head and you're going to lightly press with the palm back, hold it, count one, two, return to center. All the way back, hold it one, two, and back to center. You want to avoid pushing back on the head. So try not to push too fast on the back of the head, straining the neck backwards. You're going to point your chin towards the ceiling and hold it, add a little bit of pressure on your fingertips but not too much. You want to use your middle finger and your ring finger, and gently push back, hold it one, two, and release. We're doing it between 8 and 12 repetitions, rest in between the sets, doing two to three sets. Keep the back nice and tall. Open up the chest. If you feel a little discomfort, slide the black against the chair as you continue on. This is going to help strengthen the front of the neck as you come up and down. So, things to remember: Sit up nice and tall, we're going to engage the upper back and lower back, hand goes to the forehead using the middle finger and index finger. Step three is going to gently drag the chin and pull it up towards the ceiling, hold it 3 to 5 seconds, release to center, and that is how you do the front of the neck stretches.
