Kung Fu Vertical Neck Exercise

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm Sifu Mallon with the Clearwater Kung Fu Center, this is my assistant Melissa, and this is Kung Fu for Health. Okay, the next one that we're going to be performing is going to be another neck exercise. You're going to go ahead and place your hands onto the side. Now this is going to be a vertical looking up, and looking down. As you perform this, you want to make sure to keep your shoulders relaxed and loose, and you want to keep your mouth closed. Now, you're going to allow your head to drop down, bringing your chin toward your chest and hold for just a brief moment. Now slowly leaning up and looking up as high as you can to the ceiling. At this point you want to make sure to keep your mouth closed, teeth kind of clinching. Bring your head back down, and then slowly back up. And you want to hold each one of these positions for about three to five seconds, so not very long.You want to make sure not to move very fast in this exercise, so you don't want to jerk your head around.This is how we perform neck warm ups for Kung Fu for health."
