Short Class 82: Neck Lateral Flexion
Class Focus: SPINE & NECK
•
20m
This class is for Neck (Cervical Spine) Lateral Flexion
No Equipment Needed.
The neck is an area that a lot of people have STI's (Shitty Tissue Issues). They lack strength and neurological control in this area, mostly because we rarely train this area to be strong in traditional strength training. So this class will feature some isometric loading to help take the next step in improving tissue capacity in this area.
Important Reminder - because this area is not often trained, the tissues here might not be too strong yet, so we want to monitor our tension and intensity through our PAILs/RAILs, especially if this a problem area for you. Go at your own pace and listen to your body - only give as much effort as you feel comfortable. There's nothing wrong with giving low levels of intensity (5-20%) the first few times you take this class, over time you will be able to gradually build up to do more. Progressive overload is always the key.
If after taking this class your neck feels super sore for 3-4 days you'll know you over did it and you'll want to back off the intensity next time, or just stick with 1 round until you build up more strength in this area. Ideally our soreness should last 1-2 days, anything longer could mean you went a little too hard and that area is not strong enough yet for the load you offered.
I hope you enjoy the class!
