Hold your thumbs out front and rapidly shift your gaze between them, making sure each thumb comes into clear focus before you move your eyes. The presenter says this trains your brain to recognize safe lateral movement, which can reduce neck stiffness.
So I'm going to show you a really simple exercise to fix that right now. That exercise is called a horizontal saccade, and horizontal saccades are very simple. It's your eyes moving from one spot to another spot, and all you need are your thumbs. You're going to put them out in front of you, and you're going to stay nice and tucked with your chin, nice tall posture. You're going to look at one thumb and then immediately flip your eyes to the other thumb, and you're going to go back and forth Between those as quickly as you can. Now, here's the key. Don't just fling your eyes back and forth. Make sure that you're seeing one thumb clearly before you switch to the next thumb. So, it's not uncommon to see people do it at this speed. It's important that you can see it clearly before you move, because now your eyes are going, okay, I see that. Boom. Now I see that. Boom. Now I see that. Your brain takes that and goes, oh, now I know we can move the eyes left and right. It's safer to move your head. We don't have to stay so stable right here.
