Cervical Crunch
Exercise Overview
The cervical crunch or neck crunch exercise is used to strengthen the deep and superficial neck flexors. Start by lying down on your back on a padded surface like an exercise mat or yoga mat. Lift your head off of the ground and aim to get your chin to touch your chest. Isolate this movement away from the rest of your body by being sure to maintain ground contact with your upper back and shoulder blades. Gently lower your head to complete a repetition
