Work on your neck

This is an easy one. Just lie down on your back and press your tongue on the on the roof of the mouth. This will activate the front neck muscles. Now, bring your chin to your chest and then lift your head off the ground by about 2 inches. Be careful not to lift your stomach or push your chin out. Start out slow and gradually increase the number of times you do this exercise. Go slow because the targeted muscles are not used that much and may cause neck strain if you put too much strain on them.

Stretch your collar bone

This is a more flexible exercise and you can easily do this sitting, standing or even lying down on your back. Once you are flat on the floor, tilt your head back and up. You will feel a stretch on the muscles on either side of your throat and near your collar bone. Hold this position for as long as comfortable. Do this 10 times.

Hum your way to a contoured face

This is a great exercise to get rid of fat under the chin or what we call a double chin. Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth and push. Make a humming sound. You will feel a vibration, which activates the muscles under your chin. Do this 10 times.

Say the vowels

This will help contour the area around the mouth and the sides of the lips. Just open your mouth wide and recite the vowels one after the other. Start with 'A' and end with 'U'. Exaggerate the sounds and movements of your mouth. Be careful not to show or touch your teeth while you are reciting the vowels. Repeat 10 times.

Lift your chin

Want to give yourself a chin lift? Just push your lower jaw out and lift your lower lip keeping your mouth closed. You will feel a stretch under the chin and in the jawline. Hold this position for a few seconds. Repeat 10 times.
