A sagging chin or a double chin causes a lot of embarrassment to anyone. The person with a double chin doesn’t feel physically attractive. Your confidence may suffer and the self-esteem takes a setback. The chin muscles are involuntary muscles. Fortunately there are some simple exercises which when done regularly and correctly can do wonders to cure you from your problem. Let’s discuss some of these sagging chin exercises.
Exercise 1: First of all sit or stand upright. Now close your lips but don’t make them very tight. Now move your head op and look towards the ceiling. Next step is to start a chewing movement. Do it at least 20 times. This is one of the simplest and effective exercises for the sagging chin.
Exercise 2: Open your mouth and gently tilt your head backwards. Stretch the chin muscles by moving your bottom lip over your top lip. Stay in this position for some time, return and repeat the exercise 10-15 times.
Exercise 3: You can do the same exercise by first keeping the lips together, and tilting the head backwards and then moving the lower lip over the top lip. This way too you will be able to stretch these sagging muscles. Keep the lips in this position till a count of five and then bring your head to normal position. Repeat 10 times.
Exercise 4: Sit upright and without tilting your head backwards, try to touch your nose with your lower lip. You will not be able to reach the nose properly but trying to go as far as possible again stretches these muscles.
Exercise 5: If you try to stick your tongue out repeatedly, it will again strengthen various mouth and face muscles and will help you in tightening your double chin too. Do this exercise repeatedly for 3-4 minutes.
Exercise 6: Sit or stand upright and move your head gently towards your left. Don’t drop or lift your chin while doing this. Keep turning your head till you start feeling a stretching sensation. Hold your head in this position for 5-7 seconds and gently move the head in the opposite direction i.e. towards your left. Again keep turning till you start to feel the stretch and hold for 5-7 seconds. Repeat this whole exercise at least 3 times.
Exercise 7: Another simple exercise is to press your palm to your forehead and resist the pressure with your head and neck. This will stretch your neck and chin and will help you in getting rid of the sagging chin. Hold your head in this position for 10 seconds and repeat the exercise 5 times.
Exercise 8: Sit or stand upright and tilt your head backwards. Now press your tongue into the roof of your mouth. This will tighten all the muscles at the front of your neck. Stay like this for few seconds and while still holding your tongue against the roof of your mouth, bring the chin down towards your neck. Repeat 10 times.
These exercises are not very difficult to perform. In fact you surely must have tried these sagging chin exercises while reading. If you have then you are definitely on the path to get rid of your double chin.

If you are reading this article, then you are probably one of the many men out there that suffer from man boobs. In fact, it is estimated that more than 40 % of men suffer from this condition at one point or another in their lives. It is disheartening, I know, but luckily for us, there are solutions.
Some of the solutions that work are natural supplements, exercises and surgery in order of increasing difficulty. Performing man boobs exercises is the only method that is essentially free. It just requires some effort. At the end of this article, I mention alternatives to surgery and exercises, but now I would like to answer the question:
Which one of man boobs exercises is the best?
If you have surfed around on the internet a bit, you have probably seen many recommendations on which exercises you should do to get rid of man boobs. There are many suggestions out there and the exercises can be broken down into two categories: cardiovascular exercises and weight lifting exercises.
Cardiovascular Exercises: The most commonly recommended cardio exercises for man boobs are running, cycling, swimming and pretty much any activity that gets your heart up. Note that these exercises will burn fat on your entire body, and won’t specifically target your man boobs. However, doing cardio exercises will never hurt you, because they make you healthier.
Weight Lifting Exercises: It is not surprising that these exercises typically focus on the chest area. Some of the suggested exercises include pushups, bench presses, dumbbell flys and pretty much any exercise that focuses on the chest. However, please note that not all chest exercises will help. You need to focus on exercises that target the upper chest such as decline pushups, incline bench presses and incline dumbbell flys. If you don’t perform the version of the exercises that focus on the upper chest, you will make your man boobs more pronounced by developing your lower chest.
In this article I have answered the question, “Which one of man boobs exercises is the best?” The answer is to focus on weight lifting exercises that target the upper chest area. To learn about other ways to get rid of man boobs, please visit the website below.
