Toned Face in 20 Minutes

20 Minutes. The amount of time for an episode of The Big Bang Theory [without commercials], the amount of time to prepare a quick meal, the amount of time it even takes me to get to work each day ... and now ... behold ... the amount of time [on a regular basis] for you to get your face muscles toned!

I know...for real?!
What do you have to do for that? A very good question indeed! Relax. Sit straight. Take a deep breath in. And just follow the steps below:


  1. Open and widen your eyes. Rotate them once in a clock-wise manner and then rotate them once in an anti-clock-wise manner. Now close your eyes, relax, and count to 5. Repeat this step for 10 times

  2. Inhale with your mouth wide open. Close your mouth and hold the air inside. Shift the air to the right cheek, hold and count to 10. Now shift the air to your left cheek, hold and count to 10. Exhale. Repeat this step for 10 times.

  3. Pout your lips in a way your inner cheeks are touching your teeth; as if you are making a ‘fish’ face. Hold your breath and count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  4. Pout your lips in front of your face as if you are kissing. Pout to the right, hold and count to 10. Now pout to the left, hold and count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times.

  5. Look down towards the ground. Pout your lips and look up on the ceiling; hold and count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  6. Laugh hard so that every muscle in your face is pulled out, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times.

  7. Smile while widening your mouth, do not part your lips. Count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  8. Stick your tongue out and try touching your chin with it, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  9. Look up at the ceiling and move your mouth as if you are chewing gum with closed mouth, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  10. Widen your eyes and your mouth, say ‘aaaahh’ out loud to feel the stretch in your eyes and throat, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  11. Close your eyes pull your eyebrows up and push your eyelashes down to feel the stretch in your forehead and eyelashes, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  12. Close your eyes and squint your: forehead, eyes, cheeks, and chin. Count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  13. Open and widen your mouth. Say “eeeee” to feel the stretch in your chin and lower lip, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times. 

  14. Open and widen your eyes while saying “oooooo”, count to 10. Repeat this step for 10 times.


And voila! Your are done! This should not take you more than 20 minutes. Try to do this exercise everyday and believe me, these 20 minutes will be the best time you'll invest in yourself on a regular basis.
