The nodding dog is one exercise you really don’t want people to see you doing. It’s very silly looking but works really well for strenghtening your neck. If you get a sore neck either at the computer or while reading a book, do this exercise for about a minute every day.

  • Nod your head up and down with small but fast movements (like a nodding dog in a car)
  • Slowly turn your head all the way to the left, then all the way to the right while nodding
  • Keep this up for less than a minute
  • Do a few times a day if neccessary, maybe while you’re in the loo (but wait until you’re finished!)
