You Will Need

• A floor

• 

  Step 1.

  Lie on floor

  Lie down on the floor.

• 

  Step 2.

  Turn & hold

  Turn your head to one side until you feel a comfortable tension, and hold for about 10 seconds.

• Focus on keeping your spine aligned straight up through your neck—don’t tilt your chin up.

• 

  Step 3.

  Rotate & hold

  Slowly rotate your neck so you’re facing the other direction, stretching the other side. Hold this for another 10 seconds.

• 

  Step 4.

  Repeat rotation

  Repeat this rotation 3 to 5 times, each time trying to go slightly further into the stretch.

• 

  Step 5.

  Release & relax

  Release the stretch and relax. You’ll be turning heads in no time.

• The bassist from the heavy metal band Metallica quit after 14 years, citing irreparable neck damage from head-banging.
