Sagging breasts are a result of age, weight changes, muscle deficiency and loss of elasticity in the skin. Luckily, there are methods other than surgery that can lift and firm the breast. By partaking in a strength training regimen, you can firm certain areas of your body and target the areas in most need. There is equipment designed to strengthen the pectorals, which directly affect the positioning of the breasts. With the use of strength training tools, you will replace fat with lean muscle and firm your target areas.
Chest Press
The chest press is a machine designed the strengthen the chest area. Some chest presses come with a seat, while others have you standing. The machine is used by pushing the handles out from beside your chest to a forward motion. You can increase the number of pounds you are pressing forward for a more challenging exercise. If you are unable to locate this piece of equipment, then using exercise bands will also be effective. Position the band around a poll or tall, narrow object that can support your weight. Stand in front of the pole so that you can press the band forward, using its elasticity as resistance.
Bench Press
The bench press is another machine specifically designed to enhance the chest muscles and upper body. Position your body so it is laying on a bench with a dumbbell securely fastened above your chest area. Lift the dumbbell with both hands up from the latch and above your chest, using your upper body strength. If you are unable to locate this machine, then merely laying on the floor and lifting free weights in the same range of motion will suffice.
Pec Deck
The pec deck, also known as chest fly, is similar to the chest press except that the handles have a different range of motion. Instead of going from back to front, the handles are designed so your arms are open and moving in a closed direction, in front of your chest. This machine also comes with a seat, or can be used while standing. If you are unable to locate a peck deck, then use free weights. Have a weight in each hand and open and close your arms slowly, mimicking the motion of the pec deck.
Your Body
If you are unable to locate any equipment or tools designed to enhance chest muscles, then use your own body weight as a lifting system. Do a series of push-ups every day. Start by doing leaning push-ups against the wall. If you are able to complete the leaning push-ups then try a push-up on the floor with the support of your knees, followed by push-ups with the support of only your feet and hands. Keep in mind that each exercise should be done slowly. By exercising slowly while strength training, your muscles use more force, thus contracting longer. This will lead to a more effective workout and strength building routine. Posture also plays an important role in the positioning of your breasts. Be sure to maintain adequate posture so the breasts remain lifted and firm. Please contact your physician prior to beginning any exercise regimen and drink fluids to keep your body hydrated.
