  Yes, I am sure that you can ‘train’ your tongue, like any other muscle.

  I think so – but not sure how you’d weight train your tongue!

  I think our tongue is already being worked out quite a bit, with all the eating and speaking we do. So it’s probably one of the best-trained set of muscles in our body!

  It seems very probable, but I don’t think it will ever look like Popeye’s biceps!!
