Neck Flexion (Cable)

An isolation exercise that targets the anterior neck muscles by pulling cable resistance forward against the neck.

Instructions

1. Set the cable pulley to a high position and attach a padded neck harness or soft attachment.
2. Face the machine with the attachment secured around the back of your head or upper neck area.
3. Maintain an upright stance with a slight backward head position.
4. Using your anterior neck muscles, pull your head forward against the cable resistance.
5. Pause briefly at the end of the range when your neck is flexed.
6. Return to the starting position in a controlled manner and repeat.

Tips

• Move only through the neck joint; avoid using your chest or shoulder muscles.
• Start with very light resistance to ensure proper form and safety.
• Maintain steady breathing throughout the movement; do not hold your breath.
• Perform movements slowly and deliberately to develop proper motor control.
• Limit range of motion if you experience any discomfort.
• This exercise targets often-neglected anterior neck muscles that support posture and joint health.
