Neck exercises improve posture, relieve tension, and prevent pain by strengthening and stretching the muscles that support your head and spine. They enhance mobility, reduce stiffness, and promote better circulation. Regular practice can also define the jawline, ease stress, and help prevent neck and shoulder strain from poor posture! #nolagym #nolastrong #neworleansgym
