Human: Hi, I'd like to start doing front neck bridges. Can you explain how to perform one?

Assistant: Sure, front neck bridges are a great core strengthening exercise.  To do it, sit on a mat with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.  Rest the back of your head on a towel or towel rolled up.  Put your hands behind your head, forming a "V" shape with your elbows, then slowly lower your head back towards the floor.  Pause briefly at the bottom, then come back up again slowly and repeat.  Do as many reps as you can.

Assistant: Sure, let me check my watch. :) Seriously though, we should probably make sure you’re adequately warmed up. How about starting with a couple of light sets of neck stretches, such as

I’m going to type in a long series of neck stretches. For each one, you’ll do 10 reps. Each rep will be 10 seconds.

After the first set, I’ll ask you how you feel, and then I’ll ask you again at the end of the second set. After that, I’ll let you start doing front neck bridges.

If you feel OK for any of the exercises, just say “OK”. If at any time you feel soreness or discomfort in the back of your neck, stop and try again later.

I'll go ahead and enter the first set, but let's talk it through before you start:  The first exercise should be to hold your head in place with your hands, and stretch your neck sideways as far as you can.  Do this 10 times. When you're ready, say "OK."
