There's loads of reasons why we develop a double chin and it's not to do
with weight there's loads of other factors too for example genetics posture
and age and many more in this week's video we're going to look at how you can
reduce the appearance of a double chin so all the waiting for let's do this now
in terms of treatments we really have two options the first one is surgical
treatments which I will leave more information in the description below for
you if you're interested and the second one is lifestyle changes and exercises
which is what this video is really about so let's first begin with the exercises
now the bad news is there is no specific scientific study that shows how
effective these exercises are at reducing a double chin however
anecdotally online there is a lot of evidence supporting them so let's begin
with them let's maybe do a voiceover scene showing you how to do each
exercise and how many to do now to begin with we first need to warm up the area
with some neck rotations slowly turning as far as is comfortable hold this for
five seconds and repeat three times on each side now the aim of the exercises
are to strengthen and tone the muscles and skin between the neck and jaw aim
to do these six exercises at least once a day so to begin with tilt your head
back and look towards the ceiling push your
lower jaw forward to feel a stretch under the chin and hold this for 10
counts next relax your jaw and return your head to a neutral position aim to do this 10 times
next up is the ball exercise so place a small ball or
cylindrical object under your chin and press your chin against it repeat this
about twenty-five times remember that you can always rest between these
exercises so don't feel like you have to do them all at once I just want to show
you them all in one go so let's go to exercise number three
so next up tilt your head back and look at the ceiling pucker your lips as if you're kissing the
ceiling 15 times and make sure you get a good stretch in the area beneath the
chin once you're done bring your head back to its normal position
now let's move on to the tongue stretch so look straight ahead stick your tongue
out as far as you can and lift it towards your nose try and
hold this for 10 seconds then release and repeat it ten times
we're nearly done only two more exercises left so tilt your head back and look at the ceiling press your
tongue against the roof of your mouth and hold this for five to ten seconds
and then release repeat this ten times and the final exercise remember the
first one that we did the last one is very similar to it so tilt your head
back look at the ceiling and next turn your head to the right then slide your
bottom jaw forward hold this for five to ten seconds and repeat it five times on
the right side and five times on the left side
okay so that's exercises done but my next question for you is how is your weight status are you overweight
are you underweight are you normal so the easiest way to check this is by checking
your BMI so why I will do is leave a link in the description below and it's
very easy to use you just add your height and your weight and your gender
and it will calculate your BMI status for you now if you are overweight the
good news is that I did make a video not long ago all about how to lose weight
and it's a very detailed guide I will leave a link up here and in the
description below for you so definitely check it out if you're interested and
also remember you need to be doing exercise so it's 150 minutes of
moderate-intensity exercise per week or 75 minutes of intense vigorous exercise
per week and just a quick note some of the messages that I've received to make
a video on this week's topic have actually been very upsetting to read so
I just want to say please don't compare yourself to others focus on your great
qualities and I can honestly say I have never looked at someone and judged them
or thought about their chin or jaw line ever so just please don't let it get to
you always remember that you're awesome and I will see you next week oh yes and
by the way forgot to mention this one important point maybe we can do a little
experiment so do these exercises see how you get on with them see if you see any
improvement after a couple of weeks or after how many days and leave a comment
below for me and maybe we can do a future video on this topic I'll
also do the exercises to to see how I get on always remember you're awesome again and I'll see you next week
once you bring your head back to a normal position once you've done (laughter) this must be the best one
I can't speak today (laughter) Nadia when you're editing this I don't know which scene you're gonna use
