How to do it

  1. 1Set a cable pulley roughly at seated head height and select a very light weight.
  2. 2Sit on a bench facing away from the machine; clip the head harness D‑ring behind your head to the cable.
  3. 3Sit tall with feet flat, core braced, shoulders relaxed, and neck in neutral alignment.
  4. 4Pre-tension the cable by scooting forward slightly without extending the neck.
  5. 5Exhale and flex the neck, nodding the chin toward the chest through a comfortable range without rounding the torso.
  6. 6Pause briefly, then slowly return to neutral while resisting the pull—do not hyperextend.
  7. 7Keep the motion smooth and small; stop immediately if you feel pain or dizziness.
