I'm trying to find out if there are specific excercises I could do to
essentially tighten up my neck line so that I no longer have loose
skin between my chin and my throat on my neck.. There must be a series
of excercises or equipment to tighten up that area without surgery.
I'm not fat either so it's not a double chin.. its just a weak neck
line.. List of excercises would be appreciated. I'm only 20 years of
age so I think the problem is still fixable. I dont have a bad back or
anything like that so I should be able to do any range of excercises.
Any help appreciated
Hello, techrival-ga!
I think I have some useful suggestions for you! As an exercise
instructor and personal trainer for over 15 years, I am always one to
suggest exercises to strengthen underlying muscles which often
contribute to saggy-looking skin. However, before I give you some
direction, please understand that the comments below also have some
merit. Oftentimes, if skin sags due to extreme weight loss, pregnancy,
or old age, there is not a lot that exercise can do other than keep
the underlying muscle toned. Also, some people are just genetically
prone to looser skin tone, and though you may not tighten it entirely,
it can look better with exercise to keep underlying muscles strong.
Nutrition is also a factor. With that said, I hope the following
information is helpful.
One website that offers some very accurate and useful exercises
using a product called the “Profile Toner” can be found at
http://www.youcansave.com/profiletoner.html. Go to the site to see
examples of the exercises using the toner. Under the link for FAQ’s,
at http://www.youcansave.com/profiletoner-faq.html, I have excerpted
some information for you:
What do the experts say about the profile toner?
“Facial, chin and neck muscles are terribly under used. People have
learned to exercise their bodies but not their neck, chin and facial
muscles. It follows that most people have weak neck muscles that
invariably sag. When muscles sag, the skin covering them sags. Did you
ever wonder why the back of your neck is firmer and tighter than the
front? The answer is that the muscles in the back of the neck are
constantly lifting and lowering your 8 - 15 pound head, while the
muscles in front do little or no work. According to Wilma Bergfeld,
M.D., the president of the American Academy of Dermatology,
"Exercising facial muscles in a reasonable fashion certainly can
improve the general appearance of the skin's surface without harming
it in any way." Lawrence Birnbaum, M.D., a Beverly Hills plastic
surgeon says, "Exercises are extremely beneficial to both "pre" and
"post" operative cosmetic surgery patients. Exercises can also help
anyone lift sagging facial skin via building up the fifty-seven facial
muscles."
What about sagging skin?
“The supply of blood to a contracting muscle is 10 times greater than
normal. This fresh blood supply delivers vital oxygen and nutrients to
the skin and revitalizes tissue. The improved circulation restores the
skin's elasticity and encourages it to conform to the contour of the
underlying muscle.”
Please also read the nutritional advice on the above page as well.
Certain vitamins are very important in maintaining skin elasticity.
Sufficient protein in the diet is also important.
In lieu of buying the product, you can also try buying a small,
slightly squishy ball about 5” in diameter. The ball needs to have
some give, but not too much. However, I think the product price is
reasonable, and it does come with a money-back guarantee. Just
realize, I am not endorsing this product in any way.
Another product, which you might consider, involves a video of
facial exercises called FlexEffect, which uses resistance training to
contract and exercise the muscles of the face and neck. The home page
may be found at http://www.flexeffect.com/welcome.htm . To read more
about the philosophy and reasoning behind actual resistance training
for the face and neck musculature, go to the link at
http://www.flexeffect.com/deb.htm . Again, I am not endorsing this
product, but refer you to it for consideration.
Two exercises which could be extremely helpful for you are the
foward and backward hand resistant exercises found at
http://www.inform.umd.edu/CampusInfo/Departments/EnvirSafety/os/erg/neck.html.
At your age, I would recommend the above exercises before
considering any type of surgery. Hope this helps! Please remember, the
cosmetic faults you often see on yourself are hardly noticable to
others. I can say that from years of teaching and working with clients
who are very concerned about their physical appearance. Keep overall
fitness as a priority, and you will feel better about yourself
throughout the years.
One other recommendation....don’t overlook your posture. Sometimes,
a foward-leaning head is responsible for the appearance of sagging
neck skin. Try to incorporate some upper-body back exercises to keep
you sitting and standing tall!
Take care!
