Does your neck hurt when you do ab exercises? You’re not alone! Many traditional ab exercises put pressure on the neck by holding cervical flexion against gravity for too long. If you tend to carry neck and shoulder tension, this can make it worse!
Fortunately you can work abs without hurting your neck by choosing neck-friendly ab exercises like these that put you in a prone position or simply keep the head down when lying on your back.
Try this workout if you’re wondering how to do abs without hurting your neck. I created this ab workout that doesn’t hurt your neck to be done with no equipment, but I also love using the Bender Ball as a neck-friendly and back-friendly tool for working abs, which you can check out HERE.
