Get Support and Freedom to Move with These 5 Chest Exercises

“We must, we must, we must increase our busts”.  Breasts don't have muscles, so quit trying to tone them. We can perk things up by strategic strengthening, tightening and defining the muscles around our breasts.  

As a woman, we want our breasts to be nice and perky, and even though we can’t increase their size with training, we can surely give them a lift and make them appear perkier!  The pectoris muscle lies underneath the breast, separating them from your ribs. Try the following exercises (two sets of eight reps every day). These 5 chest exercises are perfect for women who want to strengthen the pec muscles and give their bust line a lift, the natural way! Don’t forget you need to find the right sports bra that hits the sweet spot between support and the freedom to move.

1. Stability Ball Chest Press - This allows your triceps and chest to move through a broader range of motion, which targets the pecs to a greater degree.

2. Dumbbell pullover - This works two opposing muscles simultaneously: the chest and the back muscles. Working your back and chest at the same time can help improve your posture and lift the breasts.

3. Elbow Squeeze Shoulder Press - This combo pairs the elbow squeeze with the shoulder press exercise and targets the entire upper body, helping you improve your body aesthetics.

4.  Dumbbell Plank Rotation - Planks are a great exercise to strengthen the core and improve your flexibility, posture, and stability. By twisting your torso you’re also engaging and strengthening your upper body.  This can be a powerful full-body workout.

5. Backward-Facing Wall Slide - Stand with your heels, butt, shoulder blades, and head pressed against a wall. Raise your arms out to the sides at shoulder height and bend your elbows 90 degrees so your fingers are pointing toward the ceiling. Slowly slide your arms up the wall, then lower them back to the starting position.  This seems easy at first but after 8-10 reps you will know it is tougher than it sounds.

These 5 chest exercises are a great way to help support your breasts, and the best part is they can be done at home! Share your progress with us along the way!
