"The Best Exercises for a Double Chin
Fat stored in the front of the
neck, under the chin, is often referred to as a double chin. This fat
pulls the skin away from the neck muscles to cause a loose, wobbly look.
Losing overall body weight and toning your neck, jaw and face muscles
with will strengthen the front of the neck for a smoother, tighter
appearance. For the greatest benefits, you should do facial exercises
daily.
Tilt and Extend
The
tilt and extend exercise engages the muscles of the neck, jaw and face,
and elongates the neck. Begin this exercise standing tall with your
back in neutral alignment, hips over feet, and shoulders over hips.
Relax your shoulders down away from your ears and pull your chin
horizontal to the floor--this is neutral head alignment. Inhale and lift
your chin up to the ceiling, hold this position and exhale as you open
your mouth and stick your tongue out. Inhale and bring your head back to
neutral alignment. Repeat this movement five to eight times.
Chin to Shoulder Lift
The
chin to shoulder lift is a variation of the baby bird facial yoga pose.
This exercise engages the muscles of the neck, jaw and face. Begin this
exercise sitting or standing with a tall spine, and shoulders down away
from your ears. Inhale and look to your right, exhale and hold. Inhale
and smile as wide as you can while you lift your chin up toward the
ceiling, exhale and bring your chin down to your shoulder. Repeat this
movement five times, then bring your head back to center. Repeat the
entire sequence on the left.
Chin Thrust
The
chin thrust is a variation of the chin lift facial yoga exercise. This
exercise is best performed in a comfortable chair, couch or bed. Begin
by propping pillows up behind your back for support. Lean back on the
pillows so your head is looking up at the ceiling. Make sure your neck
is completely supported by the pillows. Inhale and relax your face, neck
and shoulders. Pull your tongue up to the roof of your mouth and hold;
extend your chin up toward the ceiling 10 to 12 times. Relax and repeat
the chin thrusts for one to two more sets of 10 to 12."
