I really want to applaud Gary Sikorski of Happy Face Yoga, as he is really doing a lot of work to get studies validated for what facial exercises can do - and its often amazed me that other programs haven't done so and its a shame really because it would give a lot more credit to them if they did.
Chlorophyll I would make one suggestion for you. You mention about doing them for the mouth only - DON'T. Seriously that will give you awkward results because its like spot training. I like the analogy given to me one time, which is when you see guys who go to the gym and train their chest and arms, sure it works and looks great, but when you see them in shorts - you notice their lower body just doesn't match and looks odd. Well if you train your mouth, you are doing just that and it will create a strange look that takes time to repair and undo.
Start off with a whole program to target all your face instead. That will give you better results. When it comes to half an hour timing - you will find most programs are well within that range. Facercise is twice a day for 7 minutes, and there are many others out there. Face Yoga takes about 1/2 an hour - but works all the muscles and you have time to target problem areas too. Same with all the other yoga programs out there. Do a complete program not just your mouth area because that always leads to trouble.
I'm glad I did them when I did, I just wish I had started sooner. I didn't begin them till my 50's and I sure wish I had done them sooner (but by that I mean 40's or 30's - in your 20's you don't need them - in my opinion). |

A great program to start out with is Tom Hagerty's shapeyourface.com and he has a dvd that you can buy with him demoing them all, but they are written up and he mans his own forum there too which is invaluable. Then depending on your needs and goals look around. Ageless is nice, quick and easy, but then there are others out there too. Really depends what you want to achieve, but Tom's program is complete, 5 exercises and goes after the major groups so a good place to start and delivers results!

Thank you! I didn't think of that at the time.
There's so many programs I have no idea where to begin, but I'm sure if I poke around the forum I'll find some good recommendations. LOL. |
