2 exercises to tone the neck muscles and correct posture (video)

To look fresh and young, you need not only to lead a healthy lifestyle, but also to train your muscles. Revitonics is a unique direction designed to develop the muscles of the face and neck. When performed regularly, you can quickly prevent and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

A set of exercises and manipulations aimed at eliminating the causes of aging and deterioration of the skin is called revitonics. Its founder is Natalia Osminina, who has been involved in the rehabilitation of facial muscles for many years. The revitonics method is based on knowledge of biohydraulics, biomechanics, theoretical mechanics, and so on. The exercise is based on the principle of adjusting muscle tension and relaxation.

Revitonics has the following advantages:

Helps tighten sagging skin.
Maintains muscle tone, relieves spasms and tension.
Helps restore the oval of the face, reconstruct the muscle structure and reduce the number of existing wrinkles.
Relieves swelling around the eyes.

The revitonics system divides the full range of exercises into two types:

Vacuum fitness. Vacuum jars of different sizes are used for training. They help increase muscle tone, improve blood circulation and normalize the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
Sculptural fitness. This refers to ordinary exercises aimed at working the muscles.

Revitonics for the back

Many people suffer from back pain and in most cases it is due to poor posture. Revitonics for the back, spine and shoulder muscles involves performing the “Active Standing” exercise:

Stand with your feet directly under your shoulders. Point your tailbone down, slightly tighten your buttocks and tighten your abs. The body should form a straight line.
During the entire exercise, you need to stretch the top of your head up and open your chest. You can stay in this position for 1-5 minutes.

Revitonics for the neck

Exercises for this part of the body are in most cases aimed at relieving spasms from the trapezius muscle. This is due to the fact that tension in this area leads to a deterioration in the blood supply to the face, the formation of withers and cervical osteochondrosis.

Revitonics offers the “Frame” exercise, which is performed according to the following scheme:

Raise your arms above your head, bend them at the elbows and cross them to form a frame.
Begin to stretch upward, stretching your spine, and then tilt your head down, but your body should continue to strive upward. Stay in this position for about 30 seconds.
Place one hand above your chest and the other under your chin. Stretch your neck, thereby stretching the muscles. Switch hands. Do everything for 30 seconds.

Why do we grow old - the theory of Revitonics

It is believed that facial aging is associated with a loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin, resulting in the formation of wrinkles and sagging. However, changes in skin quality are just consequences of more global processes. There are more than 70 muscles on the face, attached to 29 bones of the skull; blood and lymph move through the vessels.

N.B. Osminina - author of the Revitonics method

Any failure in the internal structure is immediately reflected on the surface of the skin. So muscle spasms cause their contraction, as a result of which the skin that was stretched over the muscle corset begins to sag (Roman blind effect). Due to spasms and tension in the muscles, blood flow deteriorates. The lymph on the face, which removes toxins, also stops moving normally. As a result, the complexion becomes gray and swelling appears.

The condition of the face is reflected in the condition of the spine and neck. Slouching causes the skin of the entire body to tighten behind the body and begin to sag in front. Spasms of the neck muscles prevent blood from flowing normally to the head, worsening the condition of the face.

This knowledge about aging made it possible to develop the innovative rejuvenation technique “Revitonika”.

The author of the method is Natalya Borisovna Osminina, who devoted more than 20 years of her life to studying the topic of natural rejuvenation.

Revitonics by Natalia Osminina is a scientific and empirical method of appearance correction and rejuvenation, which has no analogues in the world in terms of its effectiveness and sustainability of the effect obtained.

Revitonics – exercises on a roller

A simple device can increase the effectiveness of training, relieve back pain, improve posture and even reduce your waist. You can use a ready-made juniper roller for revitonics, or you can easily make it yourself.

Place a rolling pin or other wooden stick on the towel and twist it into a tight roller, securing it with rubber bands or threads. The diameter of the roller must be at least 10 cm.

Revitonics exercises for posture differ in the location of the roller, but the execution technique is something like this:

Sit on the floor and place the foam roller directly behind your buttocks. Lie on your back and check that the device is under your belly button.
Extend your legs forward, keeping them shoulder-width apart, and touch your big toes.
Stretch your arms up, palms down, with your little fingers together. Stay in this position for 5 minutes.
After this, roll over onto your side and to the side and only then get up, avoiding sudden movements.

Ways to consolidate the effect

To obtain a decent effect, it is advisable to undergo training in working with the equipment. At the initial stage, it is advisable to carry out actions in front of a mirror, tracking muscle movements. This will be a great way to practice your exercises. Subsequently, the correct use of the technique helps to obtain and consolidate the effect.

After completing the procedure, it is recommended to wash with warm water and treat the skin with cream (make a mask). Warm up muscles should cool down on their own and tension should go away naturally. Then the achieved effect will be better preserved. Otherwise, the result may be eliminated.

To maintain the effect, Revitonics revise their diet. Meals are taken often, but in small portions. Avoid foods with a high glycemic index (potatoes, bread, sugar). Normalize drinking balance.

Important! Proper skin care will have a beneficial effect on maintaining the achieved effect. Be sure to use a soft scrub or gommage once a week. Correctly selected products based on your skin type will provide additional support for skin health.

Revitonics – facial exercises

The unique system was designed so that anyone could repeat it on their own at home. Revitonics for the face is based on a number of rules:

You need to work on hypertonic muscles for no more than half a minute.
In order to return the muscle to its normal state, stretching is carried out, and this must be done slowly and smoothly.
You need to start training by preparing your muscles for stronger impacts. For this purpose, you can slightly stretch the muscles towards each other or in different directions. You need to hold them in this position until a relaxing reaction occurs.
In order for the muscle to get used to the new position, revitonics uses fixation, which involves statically holding the muscles in the selected position for 3-5 seconds.

Revitonics for eyes

To perform the first revitonics exercise, fold your index fingers into an arc and place them near the cheek bones. Gradually close your eyes for 5-10 seconds, increasing the tension.
Place your middle fingers on the inner corners of your eyes and start blinking frequently.
Rest your elbows on your knees, open your palms and place your face on them at eye level. Hold for a few seconds, and then spread your arms and repeat the touch, moving towards your temples.

I have been doing Revitonics for ten years now. At first there was a basic course, now I’m doing an extended program and targeted exercises on individual areas of the face and neck. Everyone says that I look 10 years younger, and I think so myself! Olga, 40 years old

I learned about the revitonics system in one of the TV programs. I decided to try it, I didn’t like the condition of my skin, especially the wrinkles on my forehead. After one month of training, the first results appeared, wrinkles became less noticeable, and the face tightened. I will continue!
