This is about activation and awareness, not making oneself tired! Make sure you can do the top exercise BEFORE you do the bottom exercise as it is more advanced. If you have ANY neck issues, be sure to get clearance from your doctor BEFORE you do these. Exercise 1 (top exercise) Lie down on the floor and bend your knees. Your head, torso, and hips should be in a stacked position. Lightly tuck your chin towards your neck. This tuck should be subtle, and should not cause you to round your neck and look down. Imagine you are trying to form a double chin (or think about folding the skin on your neck if these words work\/feel better for you). While keeping your neck in a neutral position and chin tucked, lightly press your chin down and hold for 3-5 seconds. Rest, and repeat. You should feel your deep neck flexor muscles (front of your neck). In terms of intensity, this should be about a 1-3 out of 10 at the very most, and you should only feel the muscles in the front of your neck.
