Exercises to Prevent Double Chin
March 2, 2009
A double chin can be humorously defined as an obese chin. This results mainly due to loose facial skin and muscles and an improper diet with deficient nutritional requirements. Double chins make you look ten times older than you really are.
You can look younger and prevent your face from being an eyesore to others by maintaining proper eating habits and following routinely a few simple facial exercises which aid in loss of unwanted facial fat and tightening of facial muscles.
A few tips on simple exercises are listed below:
• Lie down on the ground on your back with your arms straight at your sides. Do not support your head with a pillow. Raise you head off the ground in curve so that ultimately, you chin sinks into you chest. Hold this position till you count to 5 and then relax your head back to the ground. Repeat 20 to 25 times daily with 5 second intervals.
• Sit up straight with you head thrown back as far as it can go. Press the palm of your hand gently to the skin at the base of your neck and hold this position throughout the exercise. Press your lips together firmly for five seconds. You should be able to feel the strain of the chin, neck muscles and skin. Repeat 20 to 25 times per day with 5 second hold.
• Lie on the ground with legs straight and hands near your thighs. Raise your chin so as to make it the highest elevated point of your face. Hold position for 2 seconds and then relax. Repeat 25 times a day with 5 second intervals.
• Sit up straight. Open your mouth wide. Slope back your head and simultaneously pull up your lower jaw so that the lower lip covers you upper lip. Hold position for 5 seconds and then relax. Repeat exercise 10 times per day with 5 second intervals.
• Sit up straight and throw back your head. Open mouth wide and shut it repeatedly. Exercise 10 to 15 times continuously before relaxing.
• Sit upright with head thrown back. Move your oral and facial muscles in vigorous chewing motion. Keep up motion for 10 to 15 minutes then relax.
• Sit up with your palms and fingers spread wide on your forehead. Push back your head with your hands while simultaneously attempting to arrest the backward movement with your chin and neck. Repeat ten times every day with 5 second intervals.
