Face exercises has slowly gained notoriety as being THE most popular way to sculpt a truly amazing, chiseled jaw line and remove annoying double chin syndrome! What was once an "underground" method for surely building and strengthening the facial muscles is now becoming more mainstream than ever! This is thanks in part to more and more people noticing incredible, truly life(and face) changing results!
So how is it exactly that face and neck exercises can truly help to eliminate or at least recede a double chin? Simple, by strengthening the muscles under your neck. This is rather easy to do once you have a clear understanding of the concept behind it. You see, under your chin there are over 7 muscles that make up the neck and chin area. Once you can fully manipulate these areas, you will start to notice a firming within the entire area. This firming action is what will start to transform your neck into a sculpted and toned neck that you’ve probably always desired.
Well , you do not have to desire this anymore, because in this article I will show you some simple techniques that you can start doing TODAY to start truly building a chiseled jaw line and even to get rid of that nagging, annoying double chin!
So what can we do to help accelerate the toning and firming of all facial areas?
1. Maintain a healthy weight loss regime. This would mean doing high intensity interval cardio training at least 2-5 times a week. This is not hard at all ,especially if you do it for the recommended 20 minutes a day. Think about it, 20 minutes a day is only less than 3% of your entire day! Now if you seriously wanna tell me that you can’t do this truly, then you simply do not deserve to look and feel your best!
I mean, seriously, you spend more time that this watching television! So get your lazy butt off the couch and do some form of fitness! I always advocate jumping jacks or jump-rope. A jump rope could be the greatest and best invention yet!
2. Maintain a healthy body building regime. This is simple. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you keep yourself in great shape muscularly, then you can also be sure that your face will look more toned and cut.
3.Do simple sit ups! Believe it or not, simple oblique crunches can do wonders for anyone wishing to build a truly sculpted and chiseled jaw line!
So here you have it guys, some simple methods for helping you to achieve those facial muscles you want even quicker! Combined with face exercises, the methods outlined in this article will help you to truly sculpt the amazing facial muscles you’ve always wanted and desired. And you owe it to yourself!

If you’ve ever wondered how male fitness models get and maintain their physique then continue reading! There are various fitness articles that will tell you how to get a hot body, but what about the face? Getting a body like these models takes a lot of work, but it may very well be worth it in the long run. Before I go into full details on what the fitness routines of a male fitness model entails, let’s first take a look at the advantages of having such a body:
-Your self-esteem is at it’s all time highest. Believe it or not our looks play the biggest part in self-esteem issues
-Your confidence goes through the roof! This can help you get that job wanted, get the girl you wanted, or so many other positive things in life!
-You love yourself more
-Others love you more(or at least like looking at you more!)
-Your chances of finding the potential sex or love mates increase!
-You are more happier overall
-You are less stressed overall
-And so much more!
So as you can see, there are many advantages to wanting to look like male fitness models! The first order of the day is weight management. It’s no lie that male models possess a very low body fat percentage. High intensity cardio activity can help you shed unwanted pounds more easily and effectively. A 20 minute high intensity cardio session is equal to 40 minutes of regular cardio activity! To it’s also a time-saver. Ideally, you want to try to get at least 30 minutes each session, 3-5 times a week. Don’t have time to go to the gym? Start running, doing skip-ropes, or buy a cardio machine you really like for your home!
Eating smaller, more frequent meals will also help you maintain healthy weight. To really look like male fitness models, you must watch your caloric intake and make sure it doesn’t go in excess too often. Perhaps cutting out 200-400 calories daily out of your current diet can help. Fatloss4idiots can really help you with great, low calorie meal assistance and will even make online plans for you for the entire week!
Next, you want to start building lean muscle. As a general rule for beginners or intermediate weight lifters, training your muscles every other day is an easy way to monitor muscle training days. Push yourself as hard as you can. A great muscle training program I highly recommend is no nonsense muscle building. This program really kicks ass and is a great outline of exercises to employ to build a great body.
Building muscle will help you shed fat as muscle weighs more than fat! So it would make sense to build lean muscle tissue all over your body.
Okay, so by this time your well on your way to looking like male fitness models. Of all the fitness articles out there, none of them still show you how to get a male fitness models’ face! The answer is quite simple: Face exercises! Many models, celebrities and fitness models use face and neck exercises to build, sculpt and define their facial features. If you can build and sculpt the muscles of your body, wouldn’t it make sense to do the same with your facial muscles? A great program I highly recommend is Face Sculptor for Men. You will learn how to exercise all 50 muscles of your face to create a chiseled jaw line, enhanced cheekbones, and so much more!
So here you have it guys! The male fitness models’ guide to looking great! Perhaps you won’t look exactly like a male fitness model, but at least you’ll get the closest you possible can to looking like one!
When you are striving to look hotter, just keep on thinking about the benefits I mentioned above. As soon as you see some results , you will amazed at how much better you feel. Good luck on your fitness journey!
What would the world’s most ultimate male fitness routine involve anyways? Would it be a perfect body,chiseled,rock hard abs,a hard strong chest,defined arms and a stunning jawline? Surely all that sounds promising but if you don’t have a plan to achieve this where do you begin? This article will help unravel the most commonly effective and fastest ways to get there!
We’ll first take a look at what it takes to be the most ultimate "you",physically at least.
1.LOWER BODY FAT PERCENTAGE-Eating habits-Exercise
2.BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS-Muscle building Schedule
3.ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES-Face Exercises
Yes, you read the last one right,enhanced facial features! How exactly is this done? Well I’ll tell you right now that it won’t be done through plastic surgery, at least not by the methodology I’ll be recommending.
But first let’s take a look at the first two for ultimate male fitness.
LOWER BODY FAT PERCENTAGE
Eating habits-You can lose weight and keep it off by a variety of methods that really work.
First off,start by eating smaller meals. A small,fist sized meal every 3-4 hours. This will allow you to eat 4-6 meals a day! This will help keep the metabolism spiked all throughout the day. Think of your body as a furnace. If you don’t give it more wood(fuel) it won’t keep on burning,right?
Also, you will want to eat healthy. Make fruits and veggies a bigger part of your dietary lifestyle. Lean meats and proteins are excellent choices also. A huge part of perfect male fitness is to have healthy eating habits!
Try not to use sugar as much as possible and avoid excessive soda’s,alcohol,juices and other "empty" calories. Use Pam cooking spray instead of oil. Think smart! There are ways to cut calories without sacrificing taste.
Exercise- Instead of doing an hour on the treadmill, do 20-30 minutes interval training instead. This cuts time and also helps tweak metabolism to keep on burning long after your done! Start by doing 5 minutes regular warm-up. Then start to go as fast as you possibly can without burning out or injuring yourself. Do this for 1 or 2 minutes.
Then go back down to normal,relaxed pace for 2 minutes. Then start going as fast as you can again for 1-2 minutes. Rinse and repeat. You catch the drift right? Great!
2.BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS
Another critical element to perfect male fitness! Building lean muscle mass will help you achieve a body of the God’s! Try doing weight training every other day. Allowing one day to rest is ideal for muscles to build. There are plenty of programs on the net that offer great exercise charts, programs and even software to suit your needs.
3.ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES
Want to create a stunning,chiseled jawline in less than a week? Then you should seriously consider face exercises to help define the jaw line,help enhance the cheekbones,eliminate under eye bags and even eliminate double chin!
There are over 50 muscles on the face and it is quite easy to manipulate them to your liking just as you would with any other muscle on your body through body building. The areas that you will notice results quickly are the jawline area and the double chin area and all that is needed is 15 minutes!

Here are some of the most ultimate tips on how to look tough.
Let’s face it, no one likes to get picked on or be bullied. And looking weak or geeky? Fhhughet about it! If you can’t truly be born tough you can always fake it!
1.MUSCLES! Yes, having big muscles is like the #1 factor for looking tough! Even if you have muscles but can’t fight, it will put any possible targets for trouble out of your way.
2.If you have body pains, headaches or whatever, suck it up! Don’t be a pussy. Showing signs of pain or weakness will surely not make you look tough,so deal with it!
3.Walk straight up, not slouched. Stick out your chest slightly but don’t make it obvious, cuz then you’ll just make a fool of yourself and be the butt of everyone’s joke. Just be cool, confident and try your best to not look anyone in the eye…Pretend they’re not even there better yet!
4.Try a 5 o’clock shadow! A little short,very slight beard makes most guys look tougher. Beware tho, if you are a real dorky,geeky looking type guy with huge dorky glasses then this just won’t work for you! When your used to having a 5 o’clock shadow going on , you won’t usually find yourself asking yourself how to look tough since a slight beard will already be doing you the favor.
5.Hair! Having wild long "biker" type hair can look tough usually. If you have short hair, be creative, spike it up with some wax or gel.
6.Hang out or get together with a gang or group of tough people. Just round up the most toughest guys you know on a decent, personal level and insist on a guys night out. You will appear a lot more intimidating to other people who feel they are tough if you are around a lot of tough looking people yourself.
7.Practice martial arts,kick-boxing,taekwon-do,Judo or any type of self-defense courses. Just the concept in your mind that you have some of these skills will subconsciously and consciously make you believe your tough…..And realistically so! You won’t be fooling yourself.
8.Footwear.Depending on where you go try to opt for black,sporty sneakers. These are usually a safe bet. If it’s a biker bar or those type places, get your hands on some really kick-ass biker boots with cool metal buckles.The really heavy leather ones will do.
9.Bling Bling! The best option here is a short,thick silver chain worn at all times.Grow into it. Just having this on regularly can help your "program" your mind into thinking your tough. Remember, how to look tough also involves mind frame! Some nice silver rings can also work.DO NOT go for gold since this may make you look rich and pompous vs. tough and rugged.
10.Clothing. Don’t wear skin-tight clothing,especially shirts-That just looks gay. Hoodies are excellent,they give that urban vibe.Wear pants that are not too snug, opt instead for loose fitting jeans.
SOME WARNINGS:
*Don’t over-do it! In the wrong crowd or other "gangs" this might initiate trouble. Just mind your own business with your crew and do your thing without trying to hard. The key is to avoid eye contact with others while just having a "devil-may-care" attitude.
*Just don’t even try to act tough if your skinny/scrawny to begin with or not physically tough.It’s either you can pull it off or you can’t.
ADDITIONAL TIPS:
*Having big muscles really does help you keep clear from trouble.
*Self-confidence is key! It’s the key to having that tough mentality and just being "cool" without having to try at all. It’s a frame of mind….Learn it!
*Learn to be anti-social….Except with your own "crew" or "posse"
New Study May Explain Aggressive Behavior in Some Drinkers
The majority of research conducted in the past 25 years, in both animals and humans, has found that alcohol inhibits testosterone secretion. However, a new study found that alcohol can induce a rapid increase in plasma and brain concentrations of testosterone in some rodents.
"We have demonstrated that there are very different results in the way two different groups of male rats form testosterone after acute administration of alcohol," said Robert H. Purdy, senior staff scientist in the department of neuropharmacology at The Scripps Research Institute and senior author of the study. "These differences in animals may reflect similar individual differences in humans, and provide new insights for understanding individual differences in the behavioral and endocrine pathology associated with alcohol abuse."
Fourfold Increase
According to the ACER report: Researchers "injected either alcohol or 1,1-dideuteroethanol (2 g alcohol/kg body weight) into the abdominal cavities of two groups of rats, 30 un-operated and 24 adrenalectomized and castrated (ADX/GDX) Wistar males. 1,1-dideuteroethanol is a nonradioactive form of alcohol in which two of the hydrogen atoms on carbon atom #1 of ethanol have been replaced by deuterium atoms, which can then be traced."
They then used mass spectrometry to determine both the amount of neuroactive steroids present and the degree of deuterium in specific neuroactive steroids isolated from brain samples.
The resarchers found that concentrations of testosterone increased fourfold in the frontal cortex and threefold in the plasma of the un-operated rats 30 minutes after alcohol administration. ADX/GDX rats had testosterone concentrations that were only five percent of those found in the un-operated rats after alcohol injection. The findings demonstrated that alcohol oxidation is directly linked to testosterone biosynthesis, the authors said.
Unanticipated Results
"Our finding of a direct link between alcohol administration and the level of the neuroactive steroid testosterone in the brain of these experimental animals was unanticipated from prior studies with another species of rats," Purdy said.
"Although many other studies clearly demonstrate that chronic consumption of high dosages of alcohol appears to be consistently inhibitory and suppresses reproductive function," said Dennis D. Rasmussen, research associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Washington, "this study raises the possibility that episodes of alcohol consumption may also at least temporarily increase testosterone levels, with the direction of the response likely being dependent upon a variety of factors, including dosage and personal characteristics.
"This particular dosage produced blood alcohol levels and behavioral responses consistent with intoxication. So, alcohol consumption, under at least some conditions and by at least some individuals, may acutely stimulate testosterone levels in the plasma and brain of both males and females and thus could elicit some of the behavioral effects associated with increased testosterone levels, such as increased libido or aggression."
The Role of Testosterone
Rasmussen said, his findings join those of two other studies in which alcohol administration increased plasma testosterone levels in a gender- and dose-dependent manner. "Together these studies are important," he said, "because they illustrate that what has become a largely accepted principal - that alcohol consumption inhibits plasma testosterone levels and reproductive function - is not universally true."
Rasmussen suggested that future research build upon and add to previous findings regarding alcohol’s effects on testosterone. "It would be important to determine whether lower dosages of alcohol, which do not induce rapid pronounced intoxication and ataxia, would also produce the acute increase in testosterone, and whether this response to lower dosages would be consistent across different strains of rats. Also, does tolerance develop with repeated administrations?
"Does this increase in testosterone occur following elective self-administration of alcohol? Finally, and probably most interesting, what role might the demonstrated changes in testosterone play in behavioral responses to acute ethanol consumption? Are there gender differences in these responses? And, if the responses do occur in females, are they different during different stages of a woman’s cycle?"

Testosterone is most famous for it’s anabolic, muscle building and masculine imparting qualities.
Testosterone is a hormone produced in the testes. It is responsible for male sexual development during puberty, as well as muscle growth and strength. Testosterone production naturally decreases with age. Beginning at around the age of 25 and sometimes decreasing as much as 10% per decade.
Testosterone is the supreme pilot of male sexuality. It’s produced in the testicles, and without it, a boy can’t reach his sexual maturity (his voice won’t deepen, and he won’t grow facial or body hair). Women, too, have a natural supply of testosterone, but in much smaller quantities. On average, men have about ten times more testosterone than women (the female body makes small amounts of it in the ovaries and adrenals), but levels do vary. Male blood-testosterone levels range from 300 to 1,200 nanograms per deciliter, while the female equivalent ranges from 15 to 100. As women, our battle with the effects of low testosterone doesn’t typically begin until after menopause, when our bodies’ natural hormone supplies diminish. However, two surgical procedures - the bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries and adrenals) and the hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) - will trigger early menopause in women of any age.
One of the effects of low testosterone is a decrease in sexual desire or libido. Noticing this, a man may try aphrodisiacs or think that he is no longer attracted to his partner. Depending on the age of the man, a decrease in testosterone production may be the actual problem.
Effects of low testosterone on men’s bodies
What is testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone responsible for normal growth and development of the male sex and reproduction organs, including the penis, the testicles, scrotum, the prostate and seminal vesicles. Testosterone promotes the development of the secondary male sex characteristics such as bone mass, fat distribution, muscle, hair patterns and voice modulation (a deep voice). It also maintains energy levels, sexual desire, fertility and mood.
Testosterone production increases dramatically with onset of puberty. As we get older testosterone production declines. About 50 million men in the United States will be experiencing some sort of hormone deficiency, 600,000 will be receiving treatment. Testosterone can cause male pattern baldness
Testosterone, alcohol and your liver
Healthy normal men, consuming reasonable amounts of alcoholic drink, experience a 20% drop in their serum levels of testosterone.
In chronic alcoholics with extensive liver damage those levels can be reduced by as much as 50% and they can become feminized (loose facial and pubic hair, become impotent, and fat deposits behind the nipples will give the appearance of breasts).
Testosterone and disease
Testosterone deficiency may be a result of diseases such as Klienfelters syndrome, Anorchia (vanishing testes syndrome) or damage from surgery, chemotherapy, anabolic steroid use or radiation, to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland (in the brain), or testicles. The result is that production and release of testosterone is inhibited.
Erectile dysfunction and testosterone
Erectile dysfunction can be a result of insufficient testosterone.
Underdevelopment of the penis and testes at puberty can also be a sign testosterone deficiency.
A low testosterone level can be corrected. There is a school of thought today that says that our hormones do not decrease because we age, but that we age because our hormones decrease.
FACT:Muscular men have more sex partners than their less-chiseled peers. They attract females looking for a virile mate, women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men
Over 1/2 of testosterone is produced from DHEA.
Dr. William Regelson, University of Virginia School of Medicine, reports that DHEA is "one of the best biochemical bio-markers for chronologic age."
The most abundant hormone in a 25 year old mans body is DHEA!
"Over the counter DHEA has had a major positive effect this 60 YO author. DHEA had a positive effect on several areas of my life. Sleep, Exercise Tolerance + an enhanced outlook on life!"
"According to 1999 studies by Pennsylvania State University researchers, men with higher levels of testosterone may be less vulnerable to high blood pressure, heart attacks, frequent colds, obesity and depression."
As well as producing sperm the testicles also act as endocrine glands and produce the male sex hormone testosterone.
Testosterone appears in the circulation at puberty and brings about the development of beard growth, male hair distribution, deepening of the voice and muscular growth.
Testosterone is produced constantly for the rest of a man’s life. Levels may fall later on in life.
Medical Prescription Testosterone is often referred to as Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT
Testosterone is the most important hormone in the male body for energy, libido, muscle size and strength.
In addition Testosterone is involved in heart function / cardiac output, neurological function, red blood cell production, bone density, and immune system function.
Testosterone improves oxygen uptake throughout the body, helps control blood sugar, and helps regulate cholesterol.
There are testosterone receptors throughout the body including the heart & brain.
Low levels of testosterone increase death rate for men over 50. University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. A study of 800 men over 50 found that those with low levels had a 33% increased risk of death over an 18-year period than those with higher levels.
As with Estrogen and HGH there are expected declines in testosterone levels as we age.
In men over 40 lower testosterone levels effect physical, sexual, and cognitive function.
A man 40 years old has less than 1/2 the testosterone a man of 25 has.

How often do you exercise? Each year, far too many people, namely Americans,fail to exercise on a regular basis. It’s no wonder America is the world’s largest producer of obesity.
In this day and age, people should not have heart troubles in their 40’s, but sadly they do. Everyone looks for scapegoats as to why they’ve gained weight or not in the best shape they can possible be. Blame it on the fast-food, the lack of motivation or simply "not having time" which is the most commonly used excuse.
