I do simple resistance exercises to strengthen my neck muscles for HG. I put a towel across the back of my head and hold the ends of it out in front of me. I then rock my head (like nodding yes), using the towel to provide whatever resistance I want. A few sets of this each night keeps my neck in good shape for flying. It takes less than 5 minutes per session, and saves me alot of pain during flights.
If you're not into exercise, there are some good helmet pulley designs out there. Personally, I don't like adding such a mechanism, but there are plenty of pilots who swear by them.
