How to Perform
Sit or stand with your spine tall and shoulders relaxed. Keep your eyes facing forward and gently pull your chin straight back, creating a double chin. Hold for 5 seconds, then release. Focus on a slow, controlled movement. Avoid tilting your head up or down. Perform 10 repetitions, several times a day.
