How to perform it

  1. Using a muscle roller or a rolling pin, place the roller behind your head and against your neck. Make sure that you do not place the roller directly against the spine, but turned slightly so that the roller is pressed against the muscles to either side of the spine. This will be your starting position.
  2. Starting at the top of your neck, slowly roll down the muscles of your neck, pausing at points of tension for 10-30 seconds.

Muscles worked

The Neck-SMR primarily targets your Neck. You'll need other.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Neck-SMR slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
