Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do high-intensity interval training for fat loss with neck issues?

It is generally recommended to avoid high-impact HIIT that involves rapid head movement or jarring; opt for low-impact steady-state cardio to protect your cervical spine.

How does body fat affect neck pain?

Excess body weight can increase systemic inflammation and alter your center of gravity, often exacerbating forward head posture and placing unnecessary strain on the neck muscles.
