Made of mostly fat, breasts sag for a number of reasons. Obesity, quick weight loss and heredity play crucial roles in how well your breasts are lifted. Sagging breasts can negatively affect your self-esteem, and you may have trouble finding a bra to help lift them sufficiently enough to look natural. Some factors you cannot change -- however, you can tone your breasts through weight training.
Step 1
Perform incline dumbbell presses to target your upper pectoral muscles. Grab a pair of dumbbells and lie on an incline bench. Lift your arms over your chest and straighten them; your palms should face your knees. In a controlled motion, lower the dumbbells by bending your elbows. Once your arms are parallel to the floor, push up to the starting position. Repeat the exercise for three sets of 15 reps.
Step 2
Use the weight of your body to work your lower chest with inclined push-ups. Place your hands shoulder width apart on a stability ball or bench and walk your feet out straight behind you until your body is at an angle toward the floor. Slowly lower yourself to the floor by bending your elbows, then push up to the starting position. Repeat for three sets of 15 reps.
Step 3
Use chest flyes to work all of your major pectoralis muscles. Grab a pair of dumbbells and lie on a flat bench. Hold the dumbbells straight above your chest, palms facing one another and weights about an inch apart. Lower the dumbbells down to your side until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Lift weights back to the starting position and repeat three sets of 15 reps.
