How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Duration: 30 seconds per set

Description: Stand upright with feet together, and slowly perform head rotations to the right then to the left. Keep your shoulders immobile and focus on maintaining your balance throughout the exercise.

Tips: Look straight ahead at the start, then turn your head slowly without rushing. Slightly contract the leg muscles to stabilize the knees and avoid moving the shoulders.

Progression: Gradually increase the duration of each set from 30 to 45 seconds as you feel stable, or perform the exercise on an unstable surface such as a balance cushion.
