Overheard a girl in one of my classes saying she does tongue pokes to take away her double chin. Her under chin area was pretty good ngl. Here's a possible theory behind this. The digastric muscle is the antithesis of the tongue, it is involved in the process of elevating the hyoid bone during swallowing. When the tongue pokes out, the hyoid bone is at its lowest and the digastric muscles resist its downward force. As the digastric muscles get stronger, subconsciously they tighten up, raising the hyoid, contributing to a more toned under chin area. This is just a theory though and i'm not too sure if the digastric muscle is the opposing muscle of the tongue, but i do feel some tension under the chin when trying to poke my tongue out a lot. Out and down seems to give the most tension.
