I'm genetically prone to having a double chin/fatty neck (my dad's neck is approaching that of George Lucas) so in addition to losing bf% I was curious about facial exercises and tightening up the neck muscles.
I came across some videos from Jack Lalanne, who in case you don't know was a pioneer in the bodybuilding industry (started the chain of gyms now known as Bally's, invented the jumping jack, as well as the leg extension machine and the adjustable weight rack that's now standard on most fitness equipment.)
Has anyone tried stuff like this? Have you experienced good results? Lalanne is now over 90 years old and still lifts every day so he obviously knows his sh*t...

He looks damn good for 90 (no homo) one of the pioneers of fitness too. I think he shows that you can continue to be fit into old age and it has tons of benefits for life.
For a side note I never could wink with my right eye for some reason. I worked on sort of crunchin the right side of my face and closing my right eye slowly for multiple reps and now I can wink easily. Losing body fat percentage will be the number one way to have a thinner tight face, but I think these exercises can definitely help.****************************G-Money******************************
