Neck exercises are an important addition to your anti-aging program.  A drooping neck and jaw line can age you as quickly as anything.  Perform these simple exercises to correct and/or prevent sagging.  It is important to remember that for the best results, you should start these Before your skin gets too droopy. 

Exercise One-Neck

1. Lie down on the floor with your arms by your sides, palms down, and fingers apart.

2.  Slowly lift your head and neck a few inches above the floor.  Your head should be straight-not tilted back. 

3.  Hold this position for the count of 10.  (Note:  Do not lift your shoulders off the floor during this exercise.  It is most effective with your head only 2 inches above the floor). 

4.  Lower your head and neck slowly to the count of 10. 

Repeat 3 times daily.

Exercise Two-Neck and Jaw

1.  Stand or sit with your shoulders back, down, and relaxed with your spine straight.

2.  Hold your tongue against the roof of your mouth and slowly lift your chin upward.  As you do so, you should start to feel the muscles on the front of your neck tighten.

3.  Once your muscles feel the tightest, your head will be tilted back.  Hold that position and push your chin upward and out as if you are crating and under-bite.  Do this 15 times and then rest for 30 seconds.  Repeat this series 3 times morning and evening for best results.

Be sure to keep your face firm and toned with these exercises!
