Reduce the appearance of fat around your breasts by performing exercises designed to target your chest muscles. Combined with a healthy eating plan, strength training exercises can help you burn fat and build muscle, tightening up sagging skin and flabby areas. Your breasts are made of fat, so you can't build muscle in your breasts, but you can tone the muscles around your breasts, making your breasts appear firmer and more lifted.
Step 1
Swim to get a good cardiovascular workout and work your arm and chest muscles. Swimming can help you burn fat and build muscle in your upper body. Aim to spend two and a half hours per week swimming to lose fat around your breasts.
Step 2
Perform yoga poses to stretch and warm your chest muscles. Stand upright with your legs spread wide apart and your arms outstretched to both sides. Lower your body to the left, keeping your back straight, and reach your left fingertips toward your left foot, leg or the floor, whichever is in reach. Hold for 30 seconds, then straighten up and repeat on the other side, holding for 30 seconds again. Come back to standing and move into your next yoga pose.
Step 3
Perform cobra pose. Lie on the floor on your stomach with your arms by your side and your forehead resting on the floor. Bring your arms forward so that your forearms rest on the floor on either side of your chest. Press into the floor and slowly bring your chest off the floor only as far as is comfortable. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then release. Try to perform one round of cobra pose daily for best results.
Step 4
Practice push-ups to tighten the muscles around your breasts. Start with push-ups on your knees until you are able to perform a full push-up. Perform five push-ups in each set, resting between sets and aiming for four sets in total. Work to eventually reach three sets of eight to 10 push-ups.
Step 5
Build chest muscle with strengthening exercises to tighten the area around your breasts. Lie on your back on a weight bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Hold the dumbbells on top of your thighs with your hands turned upward. Bring your arms out to the side and then up and over your head, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Return to the starting position, then repeat. Perform two sets of four to six repetitions to get the best results.
