Use your neck and head to strengthen your abs.

Want great abs? Then stand tall and get the stiffness out of your neck. CRAZY? Yea, well in my world everything ends up being connected and I just want to show you the quickest way to get there (oh and the "funnest" (not a real word) .... way too).

You look at your phone maybe more than you wish you did....why not get a great connection with your neck and your abdominals at the same time? When I tell people to stretch up and be tall from the top of their heads like they are carrying a pot up there, not a lot happens. It's like you don't feel much. That's because your neck is "stuck" -- short and tight.What if I help you get your neck to come alive and lengthen without having to stop and "do exercises?"

Being Mindful

The catch? Becoming more aware and present in the moment. Yes, taking control of your attention and directing it to your body can be challenging. But here is a simple video to begin this wonderful journey.

Once you've done the movement a few times you can enjoy feeling your neck stretch when looking out and about. So when feelingreplaces thinking, that is a big step toward better mental health. The next step: taking it into your workout routine: walking, hiking or running.
