How to Exercise the Neck Muscles
There are many exercises to pump up the muscles of the neck but not all of them allow you to build muscle in a way that does not spoil the aesthetics of the figure.
Many people complain of pain in the neck area. This zone includes the back of the neck, as well as the space between the shoulder blades. People, who work mostly by hand, complain more of this problem. For example hairdressers, engineers, computer scientists, and writers to be more precise.

Before you start working with weights, do a little workout. Neck muscles, like any other muscle in your body, need warm-up before exercise. Try some simple stretching exercises first. Try tilting your head to the right and left, forward and backward, turning from side to side. All exercises in the warm-up should be done slowly and smoothly. Performing this exercise requires a lot of concentration.
