TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Other than in stomach or thighs, fat can accumulate in other areas, including neck and the fat pile will make you have a double chin.
You only need routinely train your neck muscles to shed the fat. Here, Tempo outlined six simple exercises you could try.
1. Train your Platism
One of the ways to reduce the neck fat is by targetting the muscle platism (muscles that extend from the face, neck, to the chest). When sitting upright, pull the corner of your lips outwards and downwards to create contractions in the front neck. Let the muscles relax and repeat it up to 20 times.
2. Look up
This warming movement is also beneficial to strengthen your neck muscles. In a supine position, lift your head toward your chest without any help. Keep this position for 10 seconds and lower your head slowly to its original position.
3. Pat the chin
Chin slap, alias pat the chin, looks like a pat on face after using a serum. This way can help to facilitate blood circulation. You can do it while sitting or standing. Pat your lower chin with the back of your hand. Accelerate the movement as much as possible but make sure not to pat too hard. You may do this movement for at least 5 minutes.
4. Turn the neck
This movement is familiar, easy to do, and effectively lose fat as well as preventing neck injury. Sit or stand upright, drop your chin to the chest, then slowly turn the head clockwise and counterclockwise up to 5 times each.
5. Kiss the Sky
Imagine that you would like to kiss the sky. Look at the sky as much as possible. Push your lower jaw slightly forward and turn your lips as if you were going to kiss someone. Hold this position for 5 seconds and repeat up to 5 times.
6. Resistance
Practicing resistance on a regular basis will help you lose the double chin. Clench your both hands and place them under the chin. Press the lower chin towards the fist until your muscle feels tense. Hold this position for 3 seconds. Let the muscles relax again and repeat up to 5 times.
