I want a more cut face. Like, I want to see my cheek bones. I am a skinny guy, but sometimes I think that my body looks less athletic just because my cheeks are too round. I know it's kinda weird, but do any of you know of exercises for the face, so that you can achieve that? It should be, possible, right?

No idea, but as a sidenote, I've always wondered if there are exercises (not eating related) that build a stronger jaw. Anyone know?

oral sex should build up your jaw muscles

You cant cut a specific region by doing exercises there. Just like doing endless crunches wont give you a six-pack, doing jaw workouts wont give you smaller cheeks.

Its all about the diet. If you want to cut the fat on *any* part of the body, you have to work the *whole* body. So get out, go run, go cycling, do cardio, and watch the diet. Thats the only way you are going to do what you want.

Now, that said, some parts of the body tend to lose fat faster than others, but this frequently varies from person to person.

Can't beat cardio and oral sex (who knows, maybe you can do them both at the same time?!)

Avoid those electric stim units that claim to excercise muscles without a workout. Studies suggest they only increase facial wrinkles!

I'm interested if there is a way to do this. I accept that you can't 'spot reduce', and that the muscles are underneath a layer of fat, like on the abdominal muscles.

But how much fat do you really have in your cheekbones? If it's just bone, and pretty much no fat, just flesh, then it doesn't seem to me like there's anything you can do. I wouldn't think the muscle, right below the flesh where you shave on your cheek, would really have much to do with chewing. I'd have thought that's more under your ear. So exercising that wouldn't shape your cheeks.

Unless my knowledge of fat loss and anatomy are totally off, I don't think there's anything you can do to 'sculpt' your cheeks.

Yes it exists, it's called Facercise. Didn't you know? Check it out http://www.facercise.com/

lol

maybe if you'd done somevreserach you'd have found this out quite fast.

Although some say all facial exercises do is give you more wrinkles in the long run, they do tone your face up.

check this for some exercises to try!

Good luck with getting those sculpted cheek bones!
