Pain in the Neck!

Ever woke up with a kink in your neck? Who hasn't? Whether it was caused by hunching for hours at a time in front of the computer or by simply sleeping wrong, pains in the neck are, well, a pain in the neck!

Well, now, many of those pains can be a thing of the past. Most neck kinks are actual muscle pains, especially in the trapezius. According to a recent study published in Arthritis Care & Research, exercise can alleviate the chronic pain in your neck.

The study states that to relieve pain, you should improve the isometric strength of your neck by training of those muscles. So make sure you add weight training exercises that focus on your trapezius in your next upper body workout.

Your neck will definitely thank you!
