Big Smile: Lie on your back without a pillow with knees bent up and feet resting on the bed. Open your mouth widely and then close it slowly while resisting the closing. Try to have a big, wide smile but don’t clench your teeth. While holding the smile, lift your head slightly and then put it down. Do this lifting 7 times.

Stick Your Tongue Out: This is one of the easiest exercises that most people swear by. Open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out as far as you can, hold it for few seconds and then slowly return it to your mouth. Do this at least 10 times.

Neck Roll: The neck roll is a great exercise that tones and stretches the muscles of your neck and jaw. It is also good for releasing tension from shoulders and relives neck pain. Stand straight with an erect spine. Take a deep breath and turn your head on one side until your chin touches your shoulder. Slowly, roll your head downwards till your chin touches your chest. Repeat the same with the other side. Keep your spine and shoulders straight.

Chin Up: Stand or sit keeping your spine straight. Tilt your head slightly back and look towards the ceiling. Pucker your lips tightly as if you are trying to kiss the ceiling. Hold this position for 5 seconds. Repeat at least 10 times.
