Ever heard about facial exercises? do they work?

[Anonymous]

I was stumbling and googling looking for some info on the "perfect jawline" and some sites say we can improve our jawlines and define it with exercises! has any of you ever done these? did it give you any results?

What I am concerned about is that chewing gum exercise, I heard that chewing gum all the time can have bad effects on the face's muscles rather than improve anything, so what do you think?

[da5id]

my advice would be to go with a beard that accents the areas you want it to like the back end of the jaw and leave out the middle part

link

check james franco or josh brolin around the mouth

and stanley tucci for the back end of the jaw, leave the middle part out et voila you'e got a more defined jawline

i know its not what you asked but it may be a solution to your underlying problem

cheers

Cool advice! I was asking just out of curiosity though, I'm grateful for my facial features :D

well from my experience just working out in general and pushing your body will naturally build up your jawline due to clenching and such.

as for chewing gum, screw it. I like it, and if it gives me bad long term results then oh well, what doesn't nowadays?

[foolycooly1001]

Not chewing gum doesn't nowadays.

[Asker]

Nope I heard that bad thing about chewing gum ages ago, now on websites they say chewing gum can improve you jaw muscles! which ones should we believe?

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

Improving you jaw muscles is what I would believe, its a result I've gained.

[foolycooly1001]

Improving your jaw muscles isn't necessary. if the goal is minimizing risk, then not chewing gum is the preferred action

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

Please, enlighten me to this "risk" fooly

The mouth didn't evolve to chew items continuously for hours. If you want a jawline, do tons of resistant/circuit training to attempt to burn fat. The adverse effect of chewing gum all the time is temporomandibular joint disorder.

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

So I'm guessing something similar to arthritis that was just given a fancy medical term?

[TekHouze]

It's almost as laymen as it comes with the name lol. The joint is where the temporal and mandibular bones connect, and issues with it = disorder. It can progressively lead to arthritis and that's not a fun time.

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

Is there nothing you can't do that doesn't in some way or another lead to pain in later life?!?

[Asker]

Yea of course there are! like proper exercises, actually these will reduce pains when one gets older, I guess. Healthy food does have a good effect on the long run as well.

To be honest, I don't think they work... the excercises may help with facial muscles or tissues. But it all depends on your bone structure, since everyone is different..there isn't a 'perfect' jawline.

[SleepySasquatch]

Your jawline is defined by your genetics which includes bone structure and fat/muscle distribution. The extent to which you can alter it personally lies solely on exercising to ensure a reasonably low body fat percentage. The muscles in the human mandible (your lower jaw) are too small and dispersed to have any significant effect upon being exercised. It's due to a similar reason that you don't develop lumps on your chin but do on your upper face when being struck hard.

If you want a strong jawline check to see if your Father has one and go do some cardio. If you're still not satisfied either disregard the whole matter and start working on other aspects of your "attraction arsenal" or get plastic surgery.

Trying to lose fat in the face? Or just improve your jawline? There are facial exercises. Just look them up on youtube. Plenty of them. But not all of them work. The most absolute way to lose fat near the facial area is to lose weight. Running is ideal. Losing fat in that area is the LAST place you'll notice results.

[Asker]

Nope thanks to God I'm not fat, I'm rather slimmy, but those people who talk about jaw exercises claim that it defines or strengthens it's lines even when we get older, not the losing fat thing because they say the same thing as you stated above which is losing fat as a whole.

[Gregs]

I'd download them for free, I don't see why they wouldn't work at least a little since the muscles in the face are muscles and can be worked out, but the benefits are probably overblown

[funkadelic5]

Having a defined jawline comes from having a low body fat %. Increasing the strength of your jaw does nothing to help this - you can't spot reduce fat.

[Asker]

Yup I heard of that too, could be possibly why skinny guys look more manly than the unfit ones!

[foolycooly1001]

hadn't heard of it. interesting

Dunno,if any of that actually works.
