Neck extension against resistance

Slightly bend your neck and cross your fingers behind the back of your neck.

From this starting position, try to straighten your head and move it gently backward, while exerting forward pressure with your arms to try to prevent it. You must exert sufficient pressure with your arms to allow the head to move, but very slightly and against a resistance. You must not allow the entire range of movement to be completed. Hold the tension for about 5 seconds and rest. Repeat the movement until the series is completed.
