Is there an exercise for you neck/chin?

Question

I was a really skinny little kid, then a borderline obese teenager, then I lost all of the weight. Last year I did a lot of running and biking (good cardio) and this year I took up weightlifting. I'm about 5'9" or 10" and I only weigh around 150 - 160 lbs. so I'm not fat at all anymore. But the skin on my neck is loose and it wasn't like this when I was a kid. I lost the weight over 3 years ago so I'm sure if it was going to go away it would have by now already. While my cheeks and entire face slimmed down, I still sort of have a double chin. It's just very ugly and I hate how my profile looks because of it. Is there something I can do about that without having surgery? I'll show you a picture if you can't get a visual.

Same problem goes for my chest, there's still a little extra fat there, but idc as much because with a shirt on nobody can tell, plus now that I'm working out I'm seeing improvement, so I'm just going to stick with it. That's actually what made me wonder if there was a neck exercise because from experience I can tell you that all the dieting in the world isn't going to fix it. I'm not going to lie, I kind of feel like a pig or better yet a turkey sometimes. I'm going to try those suggestions and I hope you didn't just make them up to see if I was dumb enough to actually put my forehead on the floor etc, but i'm kind of desperate. Girls tell me all the time that I'm really good looking, I hear atleast 2 or 3 times a day that I look like Jake Gyllenhaal which I know is a great compliment, but when people meet me in person and see me from a different angle they dont like what they see as much because you can only see it from the side view and in frontal pictures I usually look pretty good

Answer 1

To get rid of a double chin, sleep without a pillow.
I mean that your head should be on your bed or mattress but not on a pillow.

The most beneficial treatment to ensure a relaxed and smooth throat line is to adopt a perfect posture. If you hold your head incorrectly, the long throat muscles that stretch from collarbone to chin have no support, and you automatically and, ominously, encourage the growth of a double chin.

Holding the head correctly also eliminates the strain on the back muscles, a double or sagging chin and a wrinkly throat. If your neck is made ugly by superfluous fat or wrinkled skin, you will not only need to cream and oil your neck, but take more energetic action as well.

Try the following four exercises:
A) Pretend you are chewing something and throw your head back as far as possible, chewing all the while with your mouth open. You will feel the muscles pulling when you do this, Repeat, pointing your chin first to the left, and then to the right.

B) Do head rotations. Roll your head in a circle, letting it fall on your chest, then over one shoulder as far back as possible and around the front again via the other shoulder.

C) It is time to tackle the double chin. Place a generous amount of lubricating cream on your neck and chin and massage the cream on your double chin with the heel of your hand. Using each hand in turn, follow the jawline and exert even pressure. It is also useful to smack your chin firmly and repeatedly with the back of your hand. Do this several times a day.

D) Before getting out of bed in the morning, remove your pillow and lie flat on your back. Without raising your shoulders, lift your head about two inches, then put your head down. Repeat five times.

Improving your neckline enables you to cultivate a good upright posture. Perhaps, it is time to realize it pays to stick your neck out sometimes!

You can condition your neck and your chin, but I doubt it achieves anything more than making your neck muscles stronger. I'm afraid that having a flabby neck and an in-shape body, is just a result of how your body distributes fat. Everyones body is different.

If you still wish to conditiong your neck, most gyms have a head harness in which you hang free weights from and lift with your head. Also, You can sit on your legs (ankles under your butt, not crossed though), lean over and put your forehead on the ground, and then lift your knees off the ground, so that your only two contact points are your feet and head. Then slowly roll your head forward and backward. Then, do the same exercise but with your stomach facing the air, and back facing the ground.
