The bust also goes by the names "breasts" and "chest." Regardless of what you choose to call them, they are an area on the body that a majority of women would like to firm up. The way to do this is through some exercises that involve the body and some additional exercise equipment.
Misconceptions
The breasts themselves cannot be made larger through exercise, because they consist of glands and fatty tissue. But there are muscles underneath and above them that can be targeted. Working these muscles might not increase the size of your bust, but they can make it firmer.
Features
Bust-firming exercises involve the weight of the body and the use of some fitness tools like dumb bells and an adjustable bench. The exercises can be done from the comfort of your own home, provided you have the tools and the space. They are not difficult to learn.
Push-ups
Push-ups are a popular body-weight exercise that can be factored in with the breast-firming exercises. To do these, lie on your stomach on the floor with your hands directly under your shoulders. Push your body straight up in the air until your arms are locked. Keep your back straight and lower yourself to the floor until your chest is about a fist-width away. Push yourself back up and repeat. If this is too difficult, you can place you knees on the floor.
Incline Press
Incline presses are a bust-firming exercise that targets the upper chest muscles. To do these, adjust your bench to 45 degrees. Hold on to the dumb bells, lie back on the bench and place your hands at chest level with your palms facing forward. Push the weights straight up in the air and bring them toward each other until they are about an inch away. Lower them back down by bending your elbows and repeat.
Flyes
Chest flyes are also done with the bench, and you can do them at an incline position or flat. Lie on the bench with your arms straight up and your palms facing each other. Slightly bend your elbows and maintain the bend. Lower your arms to your sides until they are about parallel to the floor then bring them back up. To do chest flyes, you will need to use lighter weights.
Identification
A Swiss ball is a functional training tool that is often used to work the abs. You can also use it to do a chest exercise called simply a "chest squeeze." To do this exercise, lift the ball up with your hands or forearms placed right in the center. Squeeze it as hard as you can for 20 to 30 seconds and release.
Time Frame
These exercises can be done three times a week on alternating days. Do 10 to 15 reps and four to six sets of each exercise.
