Walking

 

Walking is a low-impact cardio exercise that can be done anywhere and requires no special equipment. Begin by standing upright with your shoulders relaxed and your arms at your sides. Engage your core and walk at a moderate pace, ensuring your head remains aligned with your spine to avoid neck strain.

Stationary Cycling

 

Using a stationary bike is a great way to get a heart-pumping workout while keeping your neck comfortable. Adjust the seat height so that your legs slightly bend at the knee when the pedal is at the lowest point. Keep your back straight and hands relaxed on the handlebars, and ensure your head is in a neutral position.

Elliptical Training

 

The elliptical machine offers a gentle aerobic workout. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the machine's handles lightly. Avoid leaning on the machine; instead, engage your core and move your legs in a smooth, controlled motion, keeping your head aligned with your body.

Swimming

 

Swimming is an excellent full-body workout that's easy on the neck and joints. Practice proper breathing techniques and maintain a streamlined position in the water. The backstroke or freestyle can be particularly gentle on the neck as they allow for easy head alignment.

Aqua Aerobics

 

Aqua aerobics exercises are performed in water, reducing impact on joints including the neck. Engage various muscle groups while keeping your head above water. Remain upright, and focus on controlled movements that promote cardiovascular endurance without over-straining the neck.

Rowing

 

A rowing machine provides a thorough cardio workout. Ensure your feet are securely strapped, grasp the handle, and keep your back straight. Avoid hunching by keeping your shoulders down and pulling the handle towards your lower ribs in a smooth motion, maintaining neck neutrality.

Low-impact Aerobics

 

Participate in low-impact aerobic classes that emphasize gentle, rhythmic movements. Focus on shoulder and arm movements that do not require excessive neck motion. Maintain an upright posture with your head in a neutral position to avoid neck strain.

Hiking

 

Hit the trails for an invigorating cardio workout that also connects you with nature. Maintain an upright posture and keep your eyes looking ahead rather than down. Use a backpack that sits comfortably without straining your neck and shoulders.

Circuit Training

 

Select a series of low-impact exercises such as squats, lunges, or step-ups, performed in sequence with minimal rest. Keep movements smooth and controlled, and avoid exercises that require significant head or neck twisting to ensure comfort.

Stepper Machine

 

The stepper machine mimics climbing stairs at a manageable pace. Stand tall without leaning excessively on the handles, engaging your core to stabilize your body. Keep your chest open and neck relaxed while maintaining a steady stepping rhythm.

Premium Medication you can trust

Our weight loss medication is delivered straight to your doorstep from a state-licensed pharmacy within our reliable network, ensuring you receive your medication when you need it.

Each pharmacy in our network undergoes rigorous third-party testing through FDA and DEA certified labs. These tests focus on four key elements, ensuring both safety and efficacy for our treatments.

How to Combine Cardio Exercises with No Neck Pain

 

Walking and Hiking

 

  • Combine Walking with Hiking for a varied cardio experience that strengthens your endurance. Start with a brisk walk on flat terrain as a warm-up, then transition to hiking trails with mild inclines. This progression allows your body to adapt gently while enjoying the natural surroundings without straining your neck.

 

Stationary Cycling and Stepper Machine

 

  • Alternate Stationary Cycling and Stepper Machine sessions to keep your workouts engaging. Cycle for 20 minutes focusing on keeping a neutral neck position, then shift to the stepper machine for another 20 minutes. This combination maximizes cardio benefits while ensuring a low-impact environment for your neck.

 

Elliptical Training and Low-impact Aerobics

 

  • Integrate Elliptical Training with Low-impact Aerobics to enhance cardiovascular endurance and rhythm. Begin with a 15-minute session on the elliptical, emphasizing a smooth motion, then proceed to a 15-minute low-impact aerobics session to incorporate diverse movements and muscle engagement, protecting your neck throughout.

 

Swimming and Aqua Aerobics

 

  • Blend Swimming with Aqua Aerobics for a comprehensive water workout. Start with 10 laps of swimming using gentle strokes like the backstroke, then join an aqua aerobics class for another 20 minutes. This combination harnesses the buoyancy of water to protect your neck and joints while boosting cardiovascular fitness.

 

Rowing and Circuit Training

 

  • Mix Rowing with Circuit Training for a balanced strength and cardio program. Row for 15 minutes maintaining neck posture, then engage in a 15-minute circuit with exercises such as squats and lunges. This duo provides a robust workout while focusing on core stability and body control to minimize neck strain.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
