You probably want to reduce your double chin because you find that it is very uncomfortable and that it does not look so nice when you look at yourself in the mirror or in a picture.
Fat that builds up on this part of the body can come from being exposed to a cardiometabolic disease. Not only do overweight people have double chin, but you can also get one if you have loose jaw muscles. This will cause the face to lose its shape.
This usually happens after a certain age, but you should always be careful. Here are some of the most effective exercises you can do to reduce your double chin. The good news is that these exercises are fairly simple, so you can do them anytime and anywhere, if you are comfortable with it.
1. Circular tongue movements to reduce the double chin

- Sit comfortably, with your back completely straight and your mouth closed.
- Take the tongue and move it in circular motions around the palate.
- Try to do ten repetitions, three times a day.
- You can also try circular side-to-side movements.
2. Tongue press
- Start by keeping your back completely straight and your shoulders down, preferably in a comfortable position.
- Tilt your head all the way back so you can see the ceiling.
- Then press your tongue up against your palate. While doing this with your tongue, you should bend your head down so that you have your chin on your chest.
- Do not stop pressing your tongue against your palate while doing the exercise, so concentrate! Then relax with your tongue and return to the same position you started in.
- Repeat this at least 20 times every day.
3. “Furteleppe”
- You can do this exercise standing or sitting, whichever works best for you.
- Put the lower lip as far away from the mouth as possible, as babies do when they almost start to cry.
- While “furting”, tighten the neck muscles and bend your head down so that your chin hits your chest.
- Remember to always keep your back and shoulders straight while doing this exercise.
- When your chin hits your chest, return to the starting position and rest. Repeat this at least 15 times daily.
4. “O”

- Start by keeping your back straight and your shoulders relaxed.
- Tilt your head back and make an “O” shape with your lips.
- Keep your neck stiff and hold this position for 20 or 25 seconds. Then return to the starting position and repeat at least 10 times a day.
5. Semicircular chin rotations
- You can do this exercise both sitting and standing. The most important thing is to have as straight a back as possible.
- Then take the chin towards one shoulder, and then make a semicircular rotation towards the other shoulder. You should do this back and forth.
- The chin must move in a semicircle, and be close to the chest all the way until it reaches the other shoulder. Remember to keep your shoulders relaxed while doing this exercise.
- Repeat ten times daily.
6. Kiss the roof
- To do this exercise, you need to stand straight with your arms hanging at your sides.
- Then you tilt your head back and look up at the ceiling.
- After this, tighten your lips hard while kissing, until you can feel tension in your neck and chin.
- Hold this position for at least 5 seconds and return to the starting position.
- Repeat this exercise at least 15 times daily.
