TOM CLIFFORD: The next exercise that I'm going to demonstrate is the neck bridge. The neck bridge is an advance level neck exercise where most of your body weight and the pressure going is to be placed at the back of your neck. When you are doing neck bridges, keep your feet flat on the ground, put your head on a pillow, or a towel, hands flat on the ground, and slowly, very, very slowly lift your hips up and then curl your neck all the way up, so you are rolling ahead to your forehead, and then back down, hips up, roll your head back, so you are looking at the wall behind you, almost to your forehead and back down. The further you get your hips up, the more pressure it is going to put on your neck, and it is a little bit of an advance level exercise, so you got to really be careful on putting that weight on the back of your neck. So, some points to remember are to keep your hands down on the ground for stability, work very, very slowly, count yourself about three seconds up, three seconds down, and you can start anywhere between eight to ten to fifteen reps is ideal, and for beginners, maybe five to ten reps. That is how you do a neck bridge.
