Do you have a “turkey neck”? This extra fat under the chin can be very frustrating and can develop as you get older. I’m trying to alleviate the symptoms. All too relevant, so I’ve put together four exercises for getting rid of a turkey neck.
If you look online, you can find facial and neck exercises that claim to reduce body fat around the neck. Instead, I’m sharing the Biggest Bang for Your Bang, Hot Ticket exercise to melt loose skin and fat all over your body.
For more information on how to remove a turkey neck, keep reading. For ultimate results, do these exercises together in a circuit, with minimal breaks in between.
Mountain climbing is a great exercise that burns tons of calories and boosts your metabolism. Even better, it requires no equipment and the technique is incredibly simple.
To set up, get into a push-up position. Alternately lift both knees toward your chest while keeping your core engaged. (It’s like sprinting in place.) Keep your head up and your hips low.
If you want to burn a lot of calories, it’s best to start with full-body exercises that work a lot of muscles at once. Walking lunges are great for that, regardless of your training history.
First, take a long step forward long enough for your knees to make two 90-degree angles at the bottom. Then roll your body back on your front leg. Repeat on the other side and continue alternating.
Excess fat aside, one of the main causes of a turkey neck is poor posture. To reverse this, strengthen your upper back muscles to pull your shoulders back and move your neck into a better position (which is also great for neck health).
To perform Inverted Rows, set the barbell on a power rack or Smith machine. Grab the bar from below and pull your body up, bringing your chest closer to the bar. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and keep your body straight like a plank.
This is one of the best exercises for combining strength, power and cardio. The Kettlebell Swing is an explosive full-body workout that burns tons of calories and lets you lose weight from head to toe.
Start in a deadlift position with a kettlebell a few feet in front of you. Then bring the kettlebell back between your legs like a football center and explosively push your hips forward. Imagine propelling a kettlebell toward a target in front of you. Relax your arms.
