Neck bending against resistance

Slightly move your head backward and upward, and place your fingers or palms of your hands on your forehead.

From this starting position, try to take your head gently forward and downward, while exerting backward pressure with your arms to prevent it. You must exert sufficient pressure with your arms to allow the head to move but slowly and against resistance. You must not allow the neck to flex as much as possible. Hold the tension for about 5 seconds and rest. Repeat the movement until completion of the series.
