hey everyone and welcome to top think
today we're going to learn about how to
get rid of a double
chin now let's begin number one
the wide smile did you know that smiling
can
sharpen your jawline raising and
widening your mouth
challenges a number of muscles in your
mouth chin and neck
you can actually get rid of your double
chin by forcing yourself to smile
now for this exercise smile as wide as
you can
keeping your teeth closed the goal is to
stretch the corners of your lips
so focus on the width of your smile now
with your lips stretched wide
push your tongue against the roof of
your mouth just behind your front teeth
start slow and increase that pressure
over a few seconds
the combination of lip and tongue
extension creates a simple yet
challenging exercise
for the lower half of your face the lips
challenge the outer muscles around your
mouth and chin
while the tongue creates tension in the
jaw and neck
if you can hold this position for a
maximum of five
seconds after five seconds then take a
short break
give your muscles a little time to
unwind and then repeat this process
it helps to practice this exercise in
front of a mirror and that way you can
see how your muscles are changing in
your face
don't worry about how your smile looks
if your face
doesn't look tense and pained well then
you're not doing it right
number two back support your neck
back and shoulders are far more
connected than most people realize
if you have poor posture in your spine
it may be damaging the posture of your
neck too
that bad posture can easily create a
double chin
you typically develop poor posture when
the muscles in your back are not strong
enough
to support your body every day gravity
weighs down on you
it pushes on your head your neck and
your shoulders if your muscles aren't
strong enough to resist that force
then you begin to hunch forward your
back curves
your shoulders fall and your neck angles
downward
together these slumps in your posture
cause many negative side effects from
back pain
to double chins so if you want to get
rid of your double chin
pay attention to your posture do you
hunch forward while you work
do you experience back and shoulder pain
if the answer is yes then you may have
bad posture
luckily there are a number of changes
you can make to improve your posture
for example try adding a back support to
your office chair
this back support will keep you from
hunching and slowly strengthen the
muscles around your spine
when the posture of your spine improves
the neck and shoulders
are sure to follow number three
hold the ball can you hold an object
under your chin
this exercise is one of the most
effective and challenging on this list
it engages a wide variety of muscles by
forcing you to hold an object
with only your chin to perform this
exercise you do need
one piece of equipment you'll need a 9
to 10 inch ball
which you'll place under your chin if
you don't have a ball this size there
are plenty of household items that you
can use
for example an apple or an orange work
just as well
now take your ball or fruit and place it
between your neck and chin
your job is to hold the ball against
your neck using only the strength of
your chin
now once you've got the ball in position
keep it steady for at least
five seconds this exercise is a lot
harder than it looks
but it tackles the area around your chin
directly
as your jawline gets sharper this
exercise will get easier
you'll notice more space movement and
flexibility around your neck and chin
you can repeat this exercise up to 25
times every single day
if you're just sitting at your desk
working or browsing the internet
hold the ball under your chin don't
worry too much about form
if you can hold the ball in place then
you're doing just fine
now it may be too difficult or awkward
to hold the ball under your chin at
first
if this exercise is too difficult then
try another one first
simply tuck your chin down towards your
neck try to familiarize your muscles
with this movement
tucking your chin will stretch the
muscles in your jaw and neck
giving you strength and flexibility when
you feel more confident then try using
the ball
even if you can only hold the ball for
two or three seconds challenge yourself
every day if you practice consistently
the strength and shape of your chin
will improve in no time
number four resistance exercises
this exercise targets areas of fat
around the neck and shin
start out by making fists with both your
hands then place both fists
directly under your chin now move your
lower jaw
downward creating resistance with your
hands
the goal here is to overcome the
resistance created by your hands which
engages important muscles around your
chin
at first keep your resistance light and
then gradually increase the pressure
over a few seconds
when you reach your maximum resistance
hold your jaw in that position
for three full seconds you can repeat
this exercise between 5 and 10 times per
day
like all the different exercises on this
list remember to pace yourself
and be mindful of your muscles weak
muscles around your jaw
chin and neck can strain easily so pay
attention to any pain or soreness
number five cheek puffing this simple
exercise can make a huge impact on your
double chin
start by sucking in a big breath of air
but don't exhale
instead close your mouth and hold that
breath inside your cheeks
you should feel a light tension in your
cheeks as they puff up and out
keeping your cheeks full of air press
your open palms against your cheeks
gently create resistance with your hands
if you can
hold this position for a maximum of 5
seconds
then relax your cheeks and release the
air from your mouth
just take a few seconds to recover and
regain your breath
you can repeat this exercise between 5
and 10 times each day
if done correctly cheek puffing is a
quick and accessible exercise
that challenges muscles we rarely ever
use like
smiling you should do this exercise in
front of a mirror
cheek puffing doesn't look pretty but
it's important to see the tension in
your muscles as you practice
over time you'll notice more power in
your cheeks and more definition
around your chin number six
pucker your lips did you know that
kissing can actually refine
your jawline puckering your lips
challenges muscles around your mouth
chin and neck you can easily get rid of
your double chin by
puckering up on a daily basis start by
tilting your head back
so that your eyes are looking directly
at the ceiling now as you look up
feel a light stretch in the muscles in
your neck
next pucker your lips almost like you're
trying to kiss the ceiling
now keep your lips puckered as tightly
as you can for three to five seconds
puckering your lips stretches the same
neck muscles but it also creates tension
in your chin
and jawline after three to five seconds
have passed
relax your lips and return your head to
a normal forward facing position
now give your muscles a short break
before repeating this process
you can perform this exercise on a daily
basis as long as it feels comfortable on
your neck muscles
if this exercise is too easy try weaving
in other exercises from this list
after puckering your lips move your
mouth into a wide smile
the wide smile will challenge and engage
different muscles
continuing to strengthen the jaw and
neck alternate between the two exercises
making sure to settle into a neutral
position between each one
just like before make sure to rest and
give your neck muscles a break after
five to ten repetitions
raising your neck for long periods of
time can lead to soreness and strain
number seven the neck roll our last
exercise builds strength in the neck and
jaw while also relieving unnecessary
tension around your head
in this exercise you'll gently and
carefully roll your neck in a wide
circle
stretching your muscles into new and
challenging positions
start out by lowering your chin to your
chest this position activates the
muscles at the front of your neck
at the same time it stretches the
muscles at the back of your neck
from this position roll your head slowly
to the left
here many people make the same mistake
you may turn your head like you're
looking to the left
but this only contorts the muscles in
your neck
instead of turning your head keep your
eyes forward and bend
at the neck if done correctly your head
should settle at a soft diagonal
now as you bend don't worry about
tilting your head too far
your head doesn't need to touch your
shoulder bend until you feel a relaxing
stretch
and then stop hold this position for
five seconds before returning your chin
to your chest
now repeat the process on the right side
gently roll your head to the right
making sure to bend at the neck hold for
five seconds and then bring your chin
back to the chest
you can alternate like this for 30
seconds at a time the neck roll can
relieve
general neck pain while creating a great
stretch in those all-important neck
muscles
after practicing this exercise regularly
you'll notice more flexibility and
definition around your neck
and jaw hey thank you for watching top
