hello everyone its Peta, your Personal Face Exercise Coach from Facerobics
today we're going to be doing the first update in Exercise Along With Me series
four it's the Forehead Exercise so stay with me and I'll be back soon
you know I always appreciate it today we're going to be talking about the
forehead exercise in exercise along with me series for now this is an update so
the exercise is essentially exactly the same I'm just updating you with
different tips so you can watch this video or you can watch all of the
updates it's up to you whether you'd like to do it or not
so as normal if you'd like to go straight to the exercise please go to
the time stare in the description box below and that will take you to the
actual exercise but if you'd like to stay with me and listen about how the
muscles work that would be great too because it always helps now this
exercise is an interesting exercise because not only does it include the
forehead and the top of the the scalp but it also includes the temporalis now
the temporalis is a very difficult muscle to get moving unless you can
wiggle your ears of course so that's a very difficult muscle to move and
basically the way you do it with this exercise is you place your thumb along
with the rest of your hand but your thumb is in a position so as to isolate
and restrict the the muscle moving at its join so what happens is that when
you isolate this area right along here and you lift what happens is it starts
to exercise all of this area on the side of your eyes in your temples and the
temporalis so let me get Dorian let me show you what muscles we're going to be
working with today I think it's important that you see the muscles so
that you can visualize them and know which they are so we're going to be
working with the corrugator we're going to be working with the scalp the
frontalis and the temporalis so long here is the
temporalis and you can see it's a massive strong muscle that radiates
right across to the back of our our skull and it's a very very strong muscle
and as I say it's very difficult to get moving but once you do get it moving all
in this temple area it starts to tighten up that temple area and it starts to
lift the eye which is really what we really want
because what's that lifts the eye starts lifting then all these wrinkles along
here starts disappearing because the skin is lifted up and all the muscles
start to tighten but we also want to start tightening the upper brow and we
do that by using the muscle here that is in between the frontalis and the scalp
so we use again we where we're putting resistance on where the muscles meet and
that is a really big thing that helps strengthen the muscles now the idea
about facial exercises you start at the top and you work downwards and that's
because it's lifting so one muscle if you work the scalp muscle then the
forehead muscle lifts if you work their forehead muscle then the eyebrows start
to lift if you lift the eyes then the under eyes start to lift and so forth
and this is why we work downwards and also why you have to do a full face
routine because of course all the muscles are interconnected on the face
so it's really important that you do a whole routine so this again is the
forehead exercise for exercise along with me and it's the update on their
exercise so let's get to it so what we're doing underneath our hand so we're
using our hands of course and we're moving the muscle so underneath our
hands the movement is this so as you can see as I do this without any resistance
you can see that there are recalls forming on my forehead so we want to
stop that and also we want to isolate this part along here so that we can get
the temporalis moving as well so let's give it a go so we use our hands and we
use them in a cup we sort of cup our hands we place them on our forehead so
you can put them into your you know if you put them into your hair then you've
got resistance that you can use but I would
suggest just to put them over the top and as you can see my hands are cupping
okay now what I'd like you to do is place your thumbs out and place your
hands in a triangle so you're using this part of your hands this part of your
your palm so right along here and this is what you're using for resistance this
here is what you place right in the center okay so you can see how my hands
are completely fixed right across the front Alice now using resistance so
pressing and planting pressing and planting with your fingers pressing and
planting with all the areas around your palm okay you're not going straight on
to your your face like this you're going you're cupping in a cupping position
your right so then all we do is once it's all positions once your hands are
all positioned press firmly do the press and plant technique and lift lift and
squeeze use the lift and squeeze technique that I created okay now
nothing should be moving apart from your brow moving just a certain amount this
area here should be right here should be lifting up and down slightly and subtly
and also the muscle that meets the frontalis and the scalp that should be
moving and squeezing together as well now do it with me because while I'm here
with you doing it it will give you a really good indication of how to do this
exercise okay cup your palms place them on your forehead bring your thumbs out
to the sides right across where those two muscles meet press firmly and making
sure that your your hands are in a triangle position so you're isolating
the corrugator and you're isolating the middle of the frontalis okay press
firmly lift
it's quite a strong exercise and if you feel the muscles moving in here press
firmer with this part of your hand because that is actually isolating it so
you can see how I putting it right in the middle and it's isolating it all
right so it's a really good exercise again it goes as part of exercise along
with mis series 4 don't do this exercise on its own it is part of exercise along
with me series for now the playlist and so the playlist for exercise along with
