Hello Alycea:

Many of us have difficulty with NECK PULL!

Would you do a video piece talking us through the Neck Pull in your own body, piece by piece, and importantly, teaching us how to do it with elbows wide and hand over hand behind the nead? Thank you so much.

@ORIGINALPIL - Absolutely - Give me a week or so to get that up for you!

Alycea:

At the set-up in ROLL DOWN you are sitting tall, knees bent, but, your heels only are touching the mat. Is this acceptable, as the so called ideal would be to have both feet flat to the mat? Often people have tight hip flexors, particularily men, and if this is the case, heels only on the mat make the exercise much more achieveable, and avoids the common "throwing" action on peeling up again.

Thank you.

Why do you have just your heels on the mat when you commenced the ROLL DOWN, as opposed, to feet flat on the mat with knees bent? It is much more difficult to have the entire foot flat on the mat, and then articulate down and up slowly, say X 10 Reps? Thank you.
