"OKay, we're still working on warming up those facial muscles. Now let's move over to the mouth and the cheeks. What you want to do is you want to smile as big as you can, really, really force your smile up. Maybe it's an open mouth smile, maybe it's a lip closed, but really, really smile. You want to repeat that, you smile and then you release, you smile and release. Repeat that again about six times. Then we're going to do the same thing with frown. And with your frown, you might have to pull your face down, but we really want a frown. Really frown, pull those muscles down, release those muscles in a frown and then let them go. And, again, you want to repeat it about six times. Just like in the last activity, if you want to alternate, that's always an option as well. You can smile, release it, frown, release it, smile, release, and frown. So forth and so on for about six times."
