Effective Double Chin Exercises

A double chin is an indication that there is excess fat stored in the body

. The chin is a vulnerable storage spot for those who are piling on weight. This can make someone look older. The causes of double chin include a high calorie intake, which leads to weight gain or excessive body fat. Genetic factors can also be a reason as well as sagging facial muscles, but these are minimal compared to weight gain.

The muscle that one should concentrate on is the platysma, which is the one responsible for the movement of the jaws and the corners of the mouth. Exercising these can help eliminate double chins.

These are some simple exercises to reduce double chin:

* Posture plays an important role in reducing your double chin. Stand straight and keep your head level. Put out your tongue and stretch as much as you can. Then count 1 to 10. Repeat the process as many times as you can.

* Push the lower lip upwards to cover your upper lips. Count to ten, and repeat.

* Sit up straight. Then, tilt your head backwards until you feel the stretch. Close and open your moth. Repeat. You can alternate this with counting to ten with your mouth closed and tilting your head back as much as possible.

* While lying down flat, press your chin to your chest. Count 2 seconds before returning it to rest in the normal position. Repeat this at least 25 times.

* Lie down on the floor, keep your body flat then lift your head with your chin up to as high as you can. Hold this position for 2 minutes or as long as you can. Relax and then repeat thirty times.

* Try to stretch your lower lip upwards to reach your nose.

* Thrust your lower jaw forward and upward until the bottom teeth are on the same level as your upper lip. Repeat this 15 times each, 3 times a day. Just don't overdo this because you might strain and lock your jaw.

* To strengthen the platysma, try to move the jaw up and down with your mouth wide open and your lower lip over the bottom row of teeth. Move the jaw as though you're scooping food.

Just remember to keep your breathing steady and your posture correct when doing your double chin exercises.
