I found these easy work outs that target your chin and wanted to share!

Chin Lifts

The chin lift exercises multiple small muscles that make up the lower portion of the face, including the hyoglossus, the mylohyoid and the platysma, the large muscle flap that extends from your chin down along the front of your throat. Toning these muscles purportedly slims the front part of the neck and chin where they join. Start with your head and neck in a relaxed position. Tilt your head backward until the chin points upward to the ceiling. Push your chin forward. You'll feel a strong pull all along the jawline and front of the neck. Hold the position for 10 seconds. Lower your chin and repeat the exercise sequence 20 times.


Double Chin

Get rid of your double chin by performing focused exercises in the front of the neck area. One example of an effective exercise is to do what is called kissing the ceiling. Tilt your head back and purse your lips in an exaggerated kissing position. Extend the lips toward the ceiling and hold a second, then release. Continue repeating the kissing motion 10 to 20 times. You can do this exercise several times a day.


Yoga Lion Pose

The lion pose helps tone and exercise all the muscles of the face, but also targets the lower jaw, chin and neckline. Kneel on the floor, hands on your thighs. Open your eyes and mouth as wide as you can and stick your tongue out, trying to touch your tongue to your chin. Hold this position while saying "ah" for five to 10 seconds to start. Release the pose. Relax a moment and then repeat. You can do this exercise as often as you wish through the day


Hanging Head Lift

Lie on a sofa or bed with your head hanging over the edge. Lift your chin toward your chest. Place a hand behind your head to help if needed until your neck and jaw muscles grow stronger. Hold the contraction for a few seconds and then slowly lower your head back to its starting position. Repeat five more times and then relax.

    You just can't spot reduce. Want to lose a double chin? Eat less and move more. Want to potentially improve your posture or maybe stretch? Do these moves. Bonus points if you do these moves in front of another human being.

    Hey your face has muscles - why not tone them too! It's cheaper and easier than surgery.

    I appreciate your post. Thanks for sharing. See everyone, it's that easy to be supportive instead of always trying to prove everyone wrong.

    Yes. In my book, being supportive also means correcting misinformation. I'd rather someone say, nope, sorry, you got it wrong then tell me great job and let me believe something that is false.

    These aren't meant to help you loose a double chin, the post doesn't say that. These are meant for toning.

    She's just stretching her chin.


    OP: just keep your calories at a deficit and work in some exercise, you'll get there.

    The original post said nothing that was "misinformation". Chin toning exercises sound like a great thing to complement the other lifestyle changes we are all making. Just seems like some people come on here to find stuff to prove wrong. Try being supportive. Such as "Those exercises sound great, but just don't forget that without a good diet and exercise routine, they may not get you where you are hoping." Tah dah!!

    The second exercise specifically says that it will get rid of a double chin. That is misinformation.

    I find it more supportive to say, "You need a good diet and exercise routine, rather than essentially wasting time and getting discouraged by not getting results from sticking your tongue our and making kissy faces at the mirror."

    Uhm, I've had great results from making kissy faces in the mirror. My ego is very "toned up."

    It's called face yoga; it's been around for a long time. It tones the muscles in your face and neck which helps keep them lifted.
