The breasts are composed of fat, glands and ducts. To help make them perkier, focus on the muscle that lies beneath them. In anatomical notation, these muscles are called the pectorals. You can use free weights and the weight of your body for resistance.
Bench Presses
Bench presses target the middle part of your chest muscles, and they are performed with a barbell. Lie on the bench with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. After grasping the bar with a wide grip, push it off the supports and hold it directly above you. Slowly lower the bar down to lightly touch your chest and push it up. Repeat for 10 to 12 reps.
Incline Presses
Incline presses are done with an incline bench and dumbbells. These exercises target the upper chest area. Lie on the bench while holding the dumbbells straight above you. Your palms should be facing your knees, and the weights should be an inch apart. Slowly lower the dumbbells down to your sides by bending your elbows. Once your upper arms are parallel the floor, return to the starting point and repeat for 10 to 12 reps.
Inclined Push-ups
Inclined push-ups place emphasis on the lower chest muscles, and they can be done with an exercise ball. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the ball and walk your feet back behind you so your body forms an angle to the ground. After lifting your hips, extending your arms and tightening your core, slowly lower yourself down by bending your elbows. Once your lower chest is close to the ball, push up and repeat 10 to 12 times.
Chest Flyes
Chest flyes target the inner chest muscle area. Lie face-up on a flat bench while holding dumbbells straight above you. Your palms should be facing each other, and the weights should be an inch apart at this point. With a slight bend in your elbows, slowly lower the weights down to your sides until your upper arms parallel the floor. Lift the weights, and repeat for 10 to 12 reps.
Around the Worlds
Around the worlds are performed with dumbbells and a bench. They target the whole chest area. Lie face-up on the bench with your arms extended straight behind your head. Your palms should be up, and the weights should be an inch apart at this point. Slowly move the weights away from your body, then toward your body in a circular motion until they are right above your thighs. Your palms should still be up at this point, and the weights should not be touching. Slowly reverse the motion to get the weights back to the starting point and repeat 10 to 12 times.
