Enlarging the breasts with exercise is similar to the idea that you can reduce fat in one area of the body--it's not possible. What you can do is build up the pectoral muscles under the breasts with weight training exercises. This in turn will make the breasts perkier and give them a larger appearance.
Push-ups
The body weight push-up exercise is for the middle of the chest and it is performed in a face-down position on the floor. After placing your hands approximately shoulder-width apart and placing your knees together behind you, extend your arms and lift your butt to form a straight back. Slowly lower your chest to the floor and push back up. By elevating your knees on an aerobic step with a towel on top, you will place more emphasis on your upper chest area. In reverse of this, you will target your lower chest by placing your hands on the step. With all of these push-up variations, increase the challenge by placing your toes on the floor instead of your knees.
Free Weights
Free weight exercises such as bench presses and chest presses work your pectoral muscles with the aid of barbells and dumbbells. When doing these exercises, have a spotter on hand to assist you with the movement. To do bench presses, lie face-up on a flat bench, hold a barbell straight above you and slowly lower it down to a point right above your chest. Push the bar back up in a steady motion and repeat. Chest presses require dumbbells and they are done the same way as bench presses. While holding the weights above your chest with your palms facing forward, slowly lower them down to your sides and then back up.
In similar fashion to the push-up exercises, focus on your upper and lower chest by changing your body angle. Work your upper chest by using an incline bench and for your lower chest, use a decline bench.
Gliding Exercises
The gliding chest fly works the inner-most part of the pecs and it requires gliding discs. These are small circular tools that have a surface conducive to sliding on carpeted or hardwood floors. To do the chest flay, assume the starting push-up position with both of your hands on discs and your knees on the floor behind you. Slowly slide your hands out to your sides as you lower your chest down to the floor. Once you feel a strong contraction in your chest, slide your hands back to the starting point and repeat. It is really important to keep your back straight and core tight throughout.
Isometric Chest Exercise
An isometric exercise is held for several seconds without moving the body repetitively. To do a chest isometric exercise, extend your arms straight in front of you, place your hands together and slightly bend your elbows. Squeeze your palms together with all of your might and hold until you feel fatigued. To place more emphasis on the upper chest, move your arms up at an angle, and to target the lower chest, move your arms to a downward angle.
