Episode description

Post-workout headaches. Cramped neck muscles during and after your workout. Aching down your neck into your shoulders. Ugh.

Residual neck pain is enough to make you NOT want to exercise. Is there a way to avoid it?

Listener Jacquelyn sent in this question: “With someone who struggles with a lot of neck pain, in what ways can I protect my neck during different exercises?”

In this shortie episode, I provide tips on

  • exactly how to position your head during different exercises
  • modifications to ensure your neck muscles aren’t overworked
  • warm-up and cool down drills that may help!
