Under chin fat?
I know spot reduction is a myth but what kind of exercises can I do to help exercise the face/jaw/chin muscles to help in getting rid of it? I already plan to lose weight but I would like to tighten these muscles to help keep the fat away
You won't overdo it! My thoughts on your chin in your hand not good.
These are definitely different than some of the exercises I've seen. Thanks!
How many types of exercises would you recommend doing a day? I don't want to overdo it because then I know it can do the opposite of what I want.
Also I was wondering if it's bad to sit with my chin in my hand while at a desk. It kind of presses against the skin and stuff so since it stretches out the skin I'm not sure if it's bad or anything. I hope that made sense.

The trapezius is a major neck muscle that holds the head upright. Trapezius lifts or shoulder shrugs with handheld weights are designed to work your trapezius. Trapezius lifts tone and strengthen the muscles. Start by standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your side. Hold dumbbells with your palms facing forward and raise your shoulders toward the ears. Hold the lift for one or two seconds and then release. Do three sets of 15 repetitions each. Trapezius lifts can also be done while sitting at a desk, without using weights.
Bumblebees exercise the jaw muscles. Inhale through the nose, and make chewing motions while vibrating the sound "mmmm" through the nose as you chew. Any sound can be used. Chewing gum or pretending to chew gum can be used instead of doing bumblebees.
A yoga exercise for the neck. It firms and tones the skin directly under the chin. Stick out your tongue, and say "Ahhhhh." Hold your tongue out while keeping the rest of your face relaxed hold for 60 seconds.
The muscles under the chin are connected to the jaw muscles, and they work together. A lower face lift exercise targets the lower jaw. Start in a seated position keep your spine erect and your abdominal muscles tight. Open your mouth wide, and roll your lips over the teeth, pulling the corners of the mouth toward the back teeth. Look upward, and smile. Place the index fingers at the tops of your ears, and, while using light pressure, push your face forward and your shoulders back. Hold for 30 seconds.
This exercise works the jaw and neck and can be done standing or sitting. Hold your arms at your sides, tilt your head back slightly your head should not be parallel with the ceiling pucker your lips, and try to "kiss" the ceiling. The muscles in the jaw and neck tighten and stretch. Hold for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat five times.
