Instructions
1. Stand or sit upright with good posture, ensuring that your head is aligned with your spine.
2. Make a fist with one hand and place your knuckles against the bottom of your chin.
3. Gently push your chin against your fist while simultaneously resisting with your fist. The goal is to create tension without any actual movement of the head or neck.
4. Maintain this isometric tension for 5 seconds, keeping your jaw and neck muscles engaged.
5. Relax the tension and take a brief rest.
6. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, switching the hand that you use or maintaining on the same side if preferred.
As with any exercise, begin with lighter tension and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement to prevent strain or injury.
