Neck Firmer & Tech Neck Fix

The Neck Firmer exercise is specifically designed to combat 'tech neck' — the premature aging of the neck caused by looking down at screens for extended periods. It targets the platysma (the broad, thin muscle covering the front of the neck), the sternocleidomastoid, and the deep neck flexors. This exercise helps tighten loose neck skin, reduce horizontal neck lines, improve posture, and prevent the dreaded 'turkey neck' appearance.
