12 Underrated Exercises That Should Be Part of Your Fitness Routine (5 of 7)

8. Neck Mobility Work

The modern remote work lifestyle has led to a surge in a phenomenon known as “tech neck,” in which the head juts forward and places strain on the neck and upper spine. To restore alignment and relieve tension, engage in gentle neck flexion and rotation exercises. Furthermore, chin tucks, done for short sets throughout the day, can improve posture and reduce headaches or neck stiffness.

9. Pulling Movements

Our daily work lives have caused many of us to adopt a hunched position, which increases the risk of neck and shoulder pain. To counteract this, pulling exercises like rows and reverse flies are super important. They target the muscles between the shoulder blades, helping to open the chest and support upright posture.
