Neck Exercises - Yes's and No's

 The neck is an extremely important muscle in boxing.  You are going to get hit in the head and it is your neck that holds your head on.  A strong neck can make the hits you do take less effective and can help in your defense as well, specifically slipping punches.  As such, it is paramount that you pay attention to your neck and develop it with the following exercises:

Yes's - To perform:

1. Lie flat on your back.
2. Bring your chin to your chest.
3. Let your head fall back to the ground under control.
4. Do this for the length of time or for number of repetitions indicated in the workout.
5. To increase the intensity, rather than lying on the floor, lie in a boxing ring or on a raised ledge with your head hanging over the edge.  That way when you let your head tilt backwards you can get a longer range of motion.

No's - To perform:

1. Lie flat on your back
2. Raise your head slightly off the floor.
3. Look as far to the left as you can, then look as far to the right as you can (as if you are shaking your head - no)
4. Do this for the length of time or for the number of repetitions indicated in the workout.

Sorry no video yet, but I think this is pretty clear...
