While sitting face straight ahead. Place one hand on your forehead and try to push your head forward while you push back at your head with your hand. You will feel this exercise in your jaw, chin, and neck. The repeated resistance will help to strengthen your target muscles.

Lift chin slightly upward. With flat point of index and middle fingers press against indentation (hollow) formed by the two upper nodules of the larynx located at the curve from chin to neck.

Now press your back teeth firmly together and while maintaining this position, press the tip of your tongue against the inside of lower front teeth (gum line) increasing pressure with the tip of tongue in 10 or more gradual and definite steps (Count to 10).

The muscles of the cheeks could be speedily enlarged by the following simple exercise, which I practice while lying on my back: Draw up both corners of the mouth towards the eyes, or in the position of an exaggerated smile.

This will place a further tension upon the cheek supporting muscles.

Tilt your head to the right. Put a little forward pressure on the back of your head with your opposite hand, not so much that there's pain - just enough to provide some resistance when you bring your head back to a normal position. Repeat to the left. Do this easy exercise at the office, waiting in line, at traffic lights, well you get the idea.
