Strength Activation Set — Learn the Movements

Описание: Learn your first facial exercises in the Neck-Up Strength™ System and begin activating the 50+ muscles above the neck using doctor-designed, targeted resistance.

By engaging the full network of face, neck, and airway muscles—areas especially affected by estrogen loss in midlife—these movements help improve jaw comfort, visible lift and tone, facial strength, and better sleep.

In this guided session with creator Dr. Katie Kennedy MD, you'll learn 8 foundational facial and jaw exercises using targeted resistance to activate the deep and surface muscles that support your face, jaw, neck, and airway.

What this video covers:

A full demonstration of each exercise in the Strength Activation Set
10 guided reps per movement with facial yoga expert Koko Hayashi
Clear pacing to help you build control and confidence

This video is meant to be watched more than once. Many people benefit from repeating it during the first week as they learn the movements and build coordination.

Helpful tips while learning:

Use a mirror to check your form
Relax muscles you're not working (eyes, forehead, shoulders)
Move slowly and stay controlled
Pause the video as needed—smoothness comes with practice

Why this matters:

During midlife and menopause, estrogen decline contributes to muscle loss above the neck, which can affect jaw tension, facial support, breathing, and sleep quality. Strengthening these muscles—rather than relying on topical or surface treatments—helps address the root cause.

Important notes:

Don't force reps or push through fatigue
Don't worry about perfection—form improves with repetition
Clean your tools with soap and water before and after use
If you have TMJ, jaw pain, or a medical condition affecting your face or jaw, consult your healthcare provider before starting.

When you're comfortable with the movements, move on to the Follow-Along Reps video to begin your regular practice.
