As you age, the ligaments and connective tissue that support your breasts break down. The skin stretches over time as the breasts sag. This can also happen after a significant amount of weight loss, when breasts can look deflated. Strengthening your pectoral muscles can help fill out deflated, saggy breasts with loose skin, according to Dr. Debra Price in "The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Women." For each exercise, do 12 to 15 reps, then rest and do another set.
Push-ups
Push-ups directly work your pectoral muscles. They're an accessible exercise because they require no equipment and the resistance comes from your own body weight. If you have trouble doing standard push-ups, do modified push-ups by starting on our knees instead of on your toes. You can modify them one step further by doing them against a wall instead of on the floor. To add variety to your push-up routine, perform the exercise with a stability ball under your legs or do the push-ups with one hand.
Dumbbell Bench Press and Flyes
If you have two dumbbells or a lift bar, you can do bench press exercises to strengthen your pectoral muscles. Lie on the floor or on a weight bench, with your knees slightly parted and your feet flat against the floor. Push the bar or dumbbells straight up above your chest, then bring them straight down. Your arms should be at shoulder width and your palms should be facing your feet. From this position, you can easily switch to dumbbell flyes. Adjust your dumbbells so that your palms are facing each other. Lower the dumbbells outward, to the right and left of your chest. Bring them back to the center before your elbows touch the floor until they're almost touching.
Back Exercises
When you start strengthening your chest muscles, you also need to strengthen your back muscles to avoid a rounded back and shoulders, according to "The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Women." Take a small weight, about 5 or 10 lbs., in your left hand. Place your left palm and left knee on a bench or chair. Keep your back straight. Rest your right hand with the weight by your side. Pull the weight upward, into your armpit and squeeze your back and shoulder muscles tightly. Switch sides and repeat. Do two sets.
