Double Chin Exercises (Part II)

Double Chin Exercises For The Jaw

To get your chin looking as you want you need to exercise.  There are two basic types of double chin exercises.  The first works the neck muscles and the second with the jaw muscles.

It is worth starting the neck muscles as these are often tense and these are a good way to reduce the stress in you neck and hence make your facial/neck work out more effective.

Good posture is essential before you start any of the following exercises, so be sure to sit comfortably and to correctly a line and relax your shoulders.  Ideally you feet should be flat on the ground and you should be sitting forward so that you back is self supporting.

Here is the first exercise.  Open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out as far as possible.  Count to ten.  Now relax, pulling the tongue in and closing the mouth.  Breath and repeat.  Do not strain the muscles, you should be able to feel them pull, but they should not hurt.  Start by doing this twice, preferably in the morning and evening, and build up to 10 repetitions.

The second exercise is using the lower lip.  Remain sitting, check your posture and breathe easily.  Now bring your lower lip as far upwards as possible (towards to bottom of your nose).  Once again hold for the count of ten and then return to its natural positions, relax and breathe.  This exercise helps to define the area from the ears around the back of the jaw.  Start doing the exercise twice and build up to ten repetitions.

The third and final of the exercises for the jaw region is about stimulating the skin and circulation.  This is the one you have seen a million times on television; the chin slap.  Using the back of the hands you need to gently slap the underneath of the jaw, alternating between the hands and gradually speeding up.  This is best done twice a day for a couple of minutes each time.

Remember that double chin exercises focus on two sets of muscles and on two concepts.  The muscles are those around the jaw and the neck.  The goal is to increase the muscle strength and tone and also to stimulate to skin to maintain and increase elasticity.

Double chin exercises are not difficult and they do not take much time, but they do require dedication, changes will not be noticeable overnight, but if you stick at it they will show results.

Simple Double Chin Exercises To Help Define The Neck

Before you start your double chin exercises it is important to understand how they work.

There are two basic reasons why double chin exercises work.  The first is that you are using the muscle and this use will help to tighten it.  The second is that you will be stimulating the skin and this will encourage better circulation in the skin.

As with all exercise you need to start gently.  The first thing to incorporate into your daily routine is neck stretches.  Many of us suffer from bad posture, either from sitting at a desk for too long or simply from habit.  Each night before you go to sleep you should stretch you neck.  You head is quite heavy, and it is important not to strain or jar your muscles.  A good way to stretch the neck is to do it last thing a night once you are already in bed.  Simply lie on your side and tilt your head backwards, with your head resting on the pillow.  Your head should be supported by the pillow the whole time.  By doing this last thing at night it means that your neck muscles will be lose when you go to sleep so you should also sleep better.  Over time you should notice that you get a greater level of flexibility from your neck.

Most of us have a morning routine of cleaning our teeth and washing our face; it is a good idea to add a simple neck stretch to this.  All you need to do is stand comfortably and lower your chin to your chest then raise it slowly until your head is tilted backwards, go as far as is comfortable but do not strain your neck.  It is important to keep your mouth firmly closed in order to maximise the effect on the neck.  Once you have reached the backward position you should then count to ten and return your head to its natural level.  You can start by doing this just once or twice a day and then gradually build up to ten times.  It is important to increase the number of repetitions gradually, repeating the exercises too fast or without a good degree of concentration will mean that you double chin exercises will not be as effective.

The third and final of these neck exercises is a great one to do at the end of your working day when you may be a little tense as it is a great way to increase relaxation.  Sit comfortably and tilt your head backwards, you can you use your hands to support your neck if you find it more comfortable.  Now open and close your mouth four or five times and then bring your head back to the normal positions.  Increase the number of times you do this gradually, but always remember to lower your head to its natural position in between each set of jaw exercises.

These simple double chin exercises are all focussed around the neck muscles and will help to create a more defined neck silhouette. They are simple to do and easy to incorporate into your day, hence none of us have any reason to fail at these.

If you suffer from stress in your neck and shoulders it may be a good idea to try some natural stress management.
