Localized weight loss means the possibility, with appropriate training and targeted nutrition, to lose more fat in a specific area.
Fat localized in specific points is more dependent on: distribution of adrenergic receptors in the body and the relationship between the various hormones, incorrect nutrition and incorrect lifestyle.

Therefore, if you want to go to reduce the double chin, you must first of all put all the pieces in place, starting first from the diet that must have the right balance of macronutrients, and above all it must be low-calorie.

Lift your chin towards the ceiling and squeeze your lips as tight as possible as if you wanted to give a kiss. Again stay in position for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times.
- Neck rotation: from a standing position with a straight back, turn the head to the side so that the chin is parallel to the shoulder. Also direct your gaze in the same direction. Slowly turn your head down and then up on the opposite side. Repeat 10 times.
- Platysma exercise: this exercise serves to strengthen the muscle that covers the entire front part of the neck, the platysma. It is performed while standing with the neck straight.

- Tennis ball exercise: it is done by placing a tennis ball against the throat and keeping it balanced with the chin. Press your chin against the ball and release it slightly. Repeat 10 times.
- Neck massage: the following exercise should be done at least three times a day, every day. We need to raise the head, stretching the neck and opening the mouth a little at the same time. At this point, we place a hand on the neck, under the chin, exerting a slight pressure, and then go down by stretching the skin downwards.
- Exercise of the O: This exercise is done with the back straight and the shoulders relaxed. Then we go to stretch the neck, "throwing" the head back, close the lips and try to take an "O" shape. we maintain the position with the neck in extension for about 20 seconds. At this point you should feel the stretch on the sides of the neck, under the jaw. After 20 seconds we return to the starting position. Perform 2 sets of 10 reps, every day.
