Here are some exercises that will help you to get rid of double chin.

Remember that
you need to do them on a regular basis for the best results.
1. Open your mouth One effective exercise is to open your mouth as wide as you can
and stick your tongue out as far as you can, trying to touch your chin with your tongue.
Hold for 10 counts and repeat 10 times. When you do this exercise, you will feel that
your chin and neck muscles are tightening.
2. Hanging head lie on a bed or sofa with your head hanging over the edge. Lift your
chin towards your chest. Hold the contraction for 10 counts and then slowly lower your
head to the starting position. Repeat 10 times then relax.
3. Chin lifts this exercise helps to strengthen and tighten the muscles in your face and
neck. Stand with your back and neck straight. Raise your chin toward the ceiling and
purse your lips in an exaggerated kissing position and hold for a count of 10 seconds.
Repeat 10 times.
4. Roll your neck Stand with your spine upright. Turn your head to the side so that
your chin is parallel to your shoulder. Your eyes should be looking off to the side, too.
Slowly roll your head downward, then up to the other side. Repeat 10 times.
5. Platysma exercise this exercise works on the muscle that runs down from your jaw
along your neck and is called platysma. Stand with your neck erect. Tighten the tendons
in your jaw by pulling your lips up over your teeth and turning the corners of your
mouth downward, almost as if you were frowning. Hold for 10 seconds, then relax.
Repeat the exercise 10 times.
6. The tennis ball exercise Place a tennis ball against your throat and hold it there with
your chin. Press your chin against the ball tightly, then slightly release. Repeat 10 times.
Lose weight
In addition to doing the above exercises you should also consider losing weight (if you
are overweight). When a person is fat, there is accumulation of fat everywhere on the
body and hence, as a result occurs a double chin. Double chin exercises will have the
best result when coupled with diet.
