Neck Stretch
· v1.0.2
About
Neck Stretch guides you through a short, science-backed neck and posture routine — right from your watch, no phone or video needed. Designed for desk workers: run it on a break and your neck gets its 5 minutes.
The default routine (about 5 minutes):
• Dynamic warm-ups: side rotation, side bend, flexion & extension, shoulder rolls
• 30-second holds: upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and anterior scalene — left and right
• Chin tucks: 3 sets of 10 seconds for forward head posture
How it works:
• Each exercise shows its name, a short form hint, and a countdown
• A short "Get Ready" transition between exercises gives you time to change position
• Vibration (and optional tone) cues mean you never need to look at the watch mid-stretch
• The screen wakes at every transition so the next exercise is readable at a glance
• Pause and resume any time with the START button
Recorded like a real workout:
• Each session is saved to Garmin Connect as a Flexibility Training activity
• Every exercise is a separate lap, with heart rate recorded throughout
Make it yours (via app settings in Garmin Connect / Connect IQ):
• Toggle any exercise on or off
• Adjust hold duration (10–120 s) and transition length (0–10 s)
• Add up to 3 of your own exercises with custom names and durations
• Turn tones on or off
Consult a healthcare professional before starting any exercise program, and stop any stretch that causes pain.
