Snoring exercises, as the name suggests, are exercises targeted solely at elimating your snoring.

So what are these Exercises?
Snoring exercises look at firming the tissue associated with the vibrations that cause your snoring. As the body gets older it tends to lose some of its elasticity and muscle tone. This includes the throat area where most snoring noise originates. The snoring sound is made when areas like the soft palate and uvula vibrate due to the passing air. Snoring exercises may also help retrain the tongue and lower jaw. Alot of snoring occurs when the jaw drops open and slips backwards causing the base of the tongue to block the airflow in the throat(either partially or totally). The disturbed airflow causes the snoring sound.

If you look straight ahead, keeping your head steady, and try to put your jaw on your chest, you will notice your tongue doesn’t sit on the floor of your mouth but slips to the back of your throat.

This is often the snore created by someone who falls asleep while sitting. Their head falls back, their jaw drops open, and they snore loudly, only to awake with a gag as the tongue falls to the back of the mouth totally blocking the airway. If you’ve experienced this, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Icelander, Christian Goodman has developed and refined a specific exercise program to overcome various forms of snoring, based on the exercises performed by opera singers. Goodman's snoring exercise program is designed to tone the critical throat areas, the tongue and the jaw muscles to reduce the audible vibrations. Or in layman's terms, Stop the Snoring!
