A double chin is often caused by weight gain as it\u2019s essentially fat deposits and inflammation around the face.<\/p>\n

According to weight loss specialist and Certified Personal Trainer, Mark Bohannon, from Ultimate Performance, there are no specific chin exercises you can do to get rid of one – it just comes down to fat loss.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cFor the most part, spot reducing fat is a myth and where you hold fat on your body is largely down to your genetics.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften when you begin to lose body fat and get leaner, there are likely to be areas that you think are more \u2018stubborn\u2019 than others where you lose fat from immediately and this is different for every person.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, just as you cannot spot reduce fat on your abs by doing sit-ups, you can\u2019t spot reduce fat on your double chin.<\/p>\n

\u201cFat loss occurs as an overall process and comes down to burning more calories than you consume in a day.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo as long as you are regularly exercising (in particular strength training) and following a calorie controlled diet (and do so consistently) you will see results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark recommended one type of exercise in particular to help with fat loss and that\u2019s resistance training.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFollowing a progressive, well-structured and challenging weight training program consistently is one of the most effective ways to affect fast and far-reaching body composition change, and that includes a slimmer face.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerforming big \u2018compound\u2019 exercises like the squat, deadlifts and pull-ups are a great bang-for-your-buck way to recruit more muscle mass in training and burn more calories. Now, that might sound counterproductive to work your legs and upper body when you\u2019re trying to lose fat from around your face, but remember you cannot spot burn! The exercises I\u2019ve mentioned are the best way to get your heart racing, your metabolism into fifth gear, and turn your body into a calorie-burning furnace which will reduce your overall fat levels, including those around your chin.<\/p>\n
