Short Class 67: Neck Extension and Flexion
3 classes per week
•
20m
This class is for Neck (Cervical Spine) Flexion and Extension
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.
In the Flexion base we’ll work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs and in the Extension base we’ll work 2 rounds of PAILs/RAILs, but if that feels like too much for you, you can just do 1-2 rounds and then build up from there over time.
Enjoy!
