For people that say they get dizzy, do it slowly, and make sure your eyesight is steady as it transitions from point A to point B. If you do fast movements and allow your eyesight to go all over the place, you're going to feel sick.
it gets better over time I use to get veryy dizzy even though i did it slow and controlled during the beginning now i feel pretty comfortable being in that position...no dizziness at all (its been like 3-4 months since ive been doing this now and then)
These exercises just got rid of months of pain in 1 sitting. I did reps of 10 of everything until I got to 50. The blood flowing to my head feels very euphoric right now. I'm sharing this video. Thank you 🙏🏽
I look down at my phone and computer for hours. my neck gets worse and worse. This definitly helps strengthen those neck muscles. Your video was the only one that really helped.
Trying these out made me realize how much stronger my extensors are than my flexors. I could scarcely believe how hard face up position was while the face down one was a cakewalk, definitely something new I didn't know I had to work on. Cheers!
Really cool thank you. I found after a terrible rear ender that gentle strengthening is what really pulled me out of feeling injured but as we all know it does stay with you if you don’t keep going.
Thanks for the exercises, just done a full workout and my neck feels proper fatigued. I did get very dizzy and nauseous tho, I hope it gets less bad over time.
I did the exercises a couple of times now and they really help against my neck pain, it's great! Also I noticed that when I go climbing with my family and I want to watch them climb remaining on the ground it's not so hard for me to look up all the time anymore. The challenge I have is not to use the abs but really only the neck muscles (just the other way round as with abs workouts :D), so I focus on relaxing my abs during the exercises as well.
@@Challenged_pogo after 3 weeks training it become really big because the neck never really rest. It always need to carry the head. However the first to the 5th week I got terrible headaches from muscle never resting lol.

Just tried this for the first time. The face up ones are very hard, the face down ones quite easy. I have neck pain quite often, so I hope this will help!
Using these to build endurance for work (heavy duty mechanic). Have to hold my head up for a long time working under trucks and trailers. Also using these to build strength to avoid concussion in rugby
I don’t get it.. my neck is quite thin. But when I started doing these neck exercises, the next day i felt nothing no soreness.. I tried doing it till failure.. still no soreness. And i know im doing it right since i can feel my neck starting to burn and becomes heavier to lift as well... Does it mean my neck muscles are strong, its just that their thin?
I have literally maxed out the entire stack of plates on the cable machine with a neck harness and mine still barely grew. Still at barely over 15.5in, which is barely average.
Very nice information, exactly what I was looking for (easy to perform, easy to remember). I will do that, but I will alternate normal and reverse exercises. This will allow some muscle recovery, so I can add a little bit of volume. Thanks and get my subscribe for your help
When doing the exercises on my back, it pumped so much air into my abdomen that it made me nauseous. Did anyone else experience this? I was able to use the prone and seated positions with no ill effects. I’m grateful to have discovered this channel, regardless.
Thank you for the video. I will start doing that exercises about every 2 day now because my neck is really skinny and I hate it when I look at me in pictures. Current circumference is 35.5 cm
I'll do this everyday, I will update results in November edit: lol it worked. I have bigger neck and I already need some weight like a book on a head when I started I could do barely 10 but now my neck is soo much stronger and doesn't hurt me while I'm doing other muscles excersises (for example abs excersises) like before
Hello Ryan, Great video - my questions is, how many sets would you recommend? And what kind of combination would you do? I'm assuming you wouldn't do all 6 versions (up and then reverse) multiple times? I saw in another comment that you recommend doing this a couple of times per week. I am guessing that you could also do this on the same day as the 4 stage exercise as it is different muscle groups? I'm enjoying your videos - one of the few aimed at beginners at home. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers (110k now..) Cheers, Mick.
I like exercise number 5, I do the others differently. I also think they are better than the recommended ones. 3 weeks ago I could wrap my arms around my neck, now I can't. there is even room for almost two fingers. I first lie on my back, then put a 5 kg weight on my forehead and raise my head about 50 times in one set. then I lie on my side, and do the same. I actually rotate my whole body and that's it. success is guaranteed 😉
@@MinusTheGym I came across this and I'm wondering if this can help with a very unstable neck. I was in a car accident 3 years ago and I deal with c1 and lower skull damage along with head issues from past concussion syndrome. And my neck is always in pain and shocks and when I do work out my neck keeps me from moving on.
@@tammywilliams3161 Hi Tammy. I'd recommend approaching these very cautiously if you have an injury to your cervical spine from a car accident. I'm guessing you've seen doctors, physical therapists, etc. for this injury and are through rehab? If so, and they've cleared you for exercise, you can try these exercises but approach them very carefully and don't add resistance to them for a while. If you feel any pain, you should stop immediately. Did your PT have you doing McKenzie chin tucks or other stability exercises? I'd include anything the PT taught you as a foundation and try these cautiously as an addition. I hope that helps.
After my first daughter was born and I had a long commute (1.5 hours each way) to work, I found myself out of shape and not having any time to get to the gym. That’s when I decided to embrace old school calisthenics and just workout at home early in the morning. The rest is history. I haven’t looked back since. That was about 4 years ago.
This is going to sound strange, but when I tried to do the "yesses" laying on my back, I felt nauseous each time I brought my head up and tucked my chin. Is that normal? I didn't notice it when laying on my stomach.
So, I tried doing the yes, no, maybe exercises. I'm probably not going to stick with them though because they have the odd side effect of making me sick to my stomach. Anyone have an idea why that's happening?
I’m here looking for neck exercises because I have osteopenia in my neck. I’m pretty sure it’s from Text neck!! These are pretty much the same exercises that I do while I’m texting lol is this good for my osteopenia? I need to build muscle so my bone can build. I also do you low vibration exercises on my power plate
I would suggest you to lay on the ground and keep your head from ground. Do all these exercises for 1 set 30 reps with no resting between exercises. Both sides are 1 rep and do this every day or every two days.
@@mashash9594no rainbows? What did the rainbow do? Did he groom our children? Did he show any signs of mental illness? Im sure the answer is "NO" right?
I had a 12 k weight on The back of my neck But it wasn't enough So i went back to body weight. Put the back of you head on a chair put a towel under your head Raise your body Knees bent. Then roll your head slow. Left to right. Increase the count.
This might be a dumb question, but when you're lying on your back doing these neck exercises, are you tightening your core at the same time? Or is all the tension in the neck?
Nick De Leon there are no dumb questions :) I think it depends on the surface you're laying on. If I'm tensing my core (or legs, or anything else) it's only to keep me from sliding off the surface. But like Marcus said, it's not necessary for the exercise. The yes/no/maybes are meant to isolate the neck muscles.
@madzgaming1887 after getting on a nerve drug for a month, and about 2 months of neck physical therapy which included massage, neck exercises, and electronic muscle stimulation, and some traction, the arm pain it was inducing ended up going away after about 2-3 months. Thank God lol

2 years late but neck extensors are biologically way stronger so it's pretty normal.
I used to do full neck stretches and mobility exercise but this really hits different! I feel refreshed and have more clarity mentally after doing it.
Weird I feel dizzy after doing just the 2 first exercises.
@@augusto7681 perhaps reduce the number reps, sets and speed and increase them as you get used to it over time.

fr bro after 2 reps i felt very nauseous
Same thing here, even felt like puking, had to stop with the ones that has to be done on the back
Make sure to take a good rest after each set and make sure you spend it in upside position so the blood has enpugh time to move back down.
Don't hyperextend your neck. I do it from a flat position only

I'm mid 50's and don't want to have jowels or turkey neck. Are these the best exercises for that or are there others?
These work! I don't need any additional weight.
does this increase the width of the neck or is just to relax the muscles in the neck?
Is it working well instead of using the hand to give pressure for the side bands, to bring the head up and down from the lying on the side position?
Do you have exercises on isometric neck and shoulder?
