Posture plays a big role in how tight your neck and chin appear. If you slouch, you may be emphasizing your double chin. Instead, sit and stand with your back straight, as if an invisible string were holding your up from the top of your chest. Not only will this make the following chin exercises more effective, but it will improve your whole body function.
