Most guys don’t have that nice, chiseled chin girls drool over. It’s just a part of life. About a year ago, I used to be one of those guys, dealing with a nasty double chin and feeling sorry for myself. I used to be in a constant half-swallow position, trying to suck in as much of the fat as I could. When taking selfies or getting my picture taken, I never felt comfortable. My side profile was just atrocious.
When I shared my concerns with a friend, he showed me some exercises he used to keep the skin beneath his chin tight and toned. At first, I was skeptical. There was no way the double chin I had could be anything but flabby.
However, he convinced me to stick with the exercises for a few months, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Slowly but surely, the fat began to recede. It took a month before I actually started to see results, but when I did, they just kept coming. Now, I can actually see my jawline!
Below are the six exercises that target your double chin and tone the skin and muscle of that area.
The Pucker
Step 1: Tilt your head back toward the ceiling.
Step 2: Pucker your lips as if you’re going to kiss someone. Feel the area beneath your chin stretch.
Step 3: Stop puckering and return your head to its normal position.
Repeat these steps 20 times a day for best results.
King Tut’s Bottom Jaw Jut
Step 1: Tilt your head back toward the ceiling.
Step 2: Turn your head to the right then slide your bottom jaw forward.
Step 3: Hold this position for 5 to 10 seconds and then release.
Step 4: Move your head back to the centre position.
Step 5: Turn your head to the left and repeat the process.
Repeat this exercise 10 times or until you feel your jaw nicely stretched.
The Neck Stretch
Step 1: Tilt your head back toward the ceiling.
Step 2: Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth.

The Classic Jaw Jut

Repeat this exercise 25 times or more daily.
The Tongue Stretch
Step 1: Look straight ahead and stick your tongue out as far as you can.
Step 2: Lift your tongue upward and toward your nose.

If used correctly, these exercises could soon become your secret weapon to having a nicely toned chin. And once you have the double chin under control, you can get on with your life. I should note that although these exercises helped me, a double chin can come about because of many other reasons, including diet and weight, age, or genetics. While there is no scientific evidence that chin exercises help minimize the double chin, there is a ton of anecdotal proof you can find online. I’m just one example among thousands.
