Chin Lift & Double Chin Reducer

The Chin Lift is one of the most effective exercises for addressing a double chin and tightening the submental area (under the jaw). It targets the digastric, mylohyoid, and platysma muscles that support the chin and neck area. Regular practice helps tighten loose skin, reduce fat deposits under the chin, and create a more defined profile view. This is consistently one of the most-requested exercises in Abi's classes.

    Tilt your head back to look directly at the ceiling.

  3. 3

    Pucker your lips tightly, as if trying to kiss the ceiling.
