March Matness Day 15: Neck Pull

The name of this exercise is the #1 thing not to do when performing it, do not pull on your neck.  Since we are 15 exercises in, the neck pull adds challenge to your roll up by weighting your head.  It is a hard one.   We often start this on the way down as it is easier to use gravity to control the movement.   Reach through your legs, press them into the ground to get optimal lumbopelvic rhythm to control the roll down and coming back up.  Lift up and out of your pelvis to help roll up.

Primary focus: Lumbopelvic rhythm

Secondary focus:  Thoracic mobility
