The Gorilla Chin exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the chin and jaw for a more defined and sculpted appearance. This exercise involves clenching and releasing the muscles in the chin and jaw, similar to the movement a gorilla makes when it pounds its chest.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the Gorilla Chin exercise:1. Sit or stand in a comfortable position with your back straight and shoulders relaxed.
2. Place your hands on your thighs or hold them in front of you in a relaxed position.
3. Begin by opening your mouth wide and extending your jaw as far as possible, as if you were yawning.
4. Close your mouth slowly and clench your jaw muscles tightly for a few seconds, feeling the tension in your chin and jaw.
5. Relax your jaw and open your mouth again, repeating the clenching and releasing movement for 10-15 repetitions.
6. Take breaks as needed and perform 2-3 sets of the exercise.
It is important to perform the Gorilla Chin exercise with controlled movements and focus on engaging the muscles in the chin and jaw. Consistency and proper form are key for seeing results in strengthening and toning these muscles.
