Help Tone Your Turkey Neck

1. One day you wake up, look in the mirror and see your mother's or grandmother's sagging jawline. Gravity takes over as we get older. Neck muscles can also weaken because of genetics, smoking, sun damage or unhealthy diets. Are you noticing sagging jawline?

2. Turkey neck occurs when your neck muscles begin weakening, and your skin loses its elasticity or ability to stretch and stay tight. Fifty-seven muscles in the face and neck need to be regularly exercised. Do you already exercise those face/neck muscles?

3. Face Yoga is ideally practiced for 20 minutes a day, but any consistent routine, no matter how long, can help. All you need is a quiet place where you can sit with your feet flat on the floor, lie down or even stand. Clean your hands and apply a facial moisturizer. Face Yoga exercises should be done with a lighter touch than traditional body massage to give your skin better circulation, a smoother and firmer look and a reduction of tension. Are you going to start face yoga?

4. Correct posture is also important. Start by taking in a breath for four counts, then exhaling for six. Bring your shoulders up to your ears, then drop them down several times while breathing out. Lengthen your spine, imagining a line or a string from the body's center to the top of your head and moving upwards, releasing any tension in your shoulders. Will you try this?

5. Happy Thanksgiving to you! Will you think of this survey when you see your cooked turkey?
