How Can I Strengthen My Neck?
Posted: 01-19-05 16:33pm

What are some excercises that I can do to strengthen my neck? I recently joined a gym and I told one of the fitness instructors that I get a sore neck and back alot.

He told me that I have to build some muscles on my neck and back for support. I already know some excercises that strengthen my back but i'm not sure of any that will strengthen my neck, please if any of you know some please tell me thanks.

Most gym's actually have some machines to develop your neck muscles.
Shoulder shrugs will develop traps and some neck muscles. And armpit shrugs will do an ever better job of developing neck muscles. Otherwise you'll need the resistance machines to do it properly to avoid injury.
