A neck bridge breathing technique, recovery routine, and more from our AI friend!

🧘♂️ Neck bridge, find your own safe way to breathe
I also use the Neck Bridgefor quite some time now,
In fact, in the past ‘breathing’I don't think I've ever cared that much about it.
Maybe they were just subconsciously balancing and rolling?
But recently,
I was asking Itty Bitty how to breathe and... um...
It was presented in a way that didn't make sense to me, so it got lodged in my throat 🥲 .
(The ittip was no offense, I just didn't know it!)
Again, there's not much information on the neck bridge or back neck bridge,
Everyone has a different body shape, senses, and breathing patterns.
There was nothing organized, and even the AI was confused.
💨 I discovered the ‘four-beat breathing method’ through trial and error.’
A stiff neck, slightly uncomfortable day,
I asked my Gemini AI friend, ‘Jokni," and she said
He told me this:
“Exhale at the very end,
When moving to the middle, it's good to breathe slowly.”
So I went through some of my old footage,
I realized I was doing that without realizing it!
✔️ Inhale when going back and forth slowly in the middle.
✔️ When you've rolled it all the way to the ‘end', exhale
✔️ So four breaths for one round trip!
(2 inhales, 2 exhales → 4-beat breathing)
❄️ Shortly after my injury, I did this!
Ever since I sprained my neck that day, I've been using
✔️ Roll a towel around yourself and hold it behind your neck
✔️ ice packs on the left side of the screen
✔️ was still lying on the floor.
It got better really fast...!
It also changed my mind about neck bridges being a dangerous exercise.
If you do it slowly, precisely, and with breath
It can actually be a good exercise for your neck. I wanted to.
In particular, I like to use the
It stops one second at the very end,
It's a more effective routine for neck and nervous system control!
(And you can do it safely 😎)
🧘♂️ Stretching, the key to recovery!
One of the reasons for a weak neck is,
I think it was ‘lack of flexibility'.
When I used to injure my mid trapezius,
It would hurt to turn my neck even slightly.
But after a few days of doing the stretches that ItTip showed me,
It's actually more flexible and rigid now.
I found the stretches to be particularly effective in releasing the side of my neck.
💡 Recap of tips for stretching the italics
- Curl your right arm in front of you and hang it around your left waist
- Wrap your left hand around the back of your head in a sweeping motion
- Slowly press your neck in a 45-degree front-to-side direction (left)
- Slightly roll the waist to stretch the back together <- This is important 😀 .
🌬 Don't force your breathing, let it flow naturally!
✨ Small injury, big learning
Honestly, the first time I hurt my neck, I was so upset.
I trusted ItTip... but it turned out to hurt me... 🥺 🥺
But, talk to Jhunni again,
After my gum tip healed quickly from the stretching...
Somehow How it feels to have a deeper understanding of my bodyAnswer.
I'm still not fully recovered,
I feel like my own ‘breathing‘ and 'routine' has become more solidified through this process.
Just wondering how to get a good workout? ⬇️
💬 If you happen to do a neck bridge,
Be sure to include breathing, rhythm, and flexibility.
Trust your body and take it slow.
It will definitely lead to safe and deep growth.
Healthy necks, together!
Thank you as always 😊.
