With the prevalence of surgically altered bosoms these days, it is easy to believe that the only way to get firmer, perkier breasts is to lie down on an operating table. That just is not the case. With a few breast-firming exercises, you can be well on your way to a more toned, firm chest before you know it.
Push-ups
Push-ups are a classic exercise for the chest. They can be helpful in firming the chest of a man or a woman and are a way to boost your personal fitness at the same time. If push-ups prove difficult for you in the beginning, start with a short set of five to 10. If this is too difficult, drop your knees to the floor and do them "girl-style."
Bench Press
The bench press isn't just for the guys, anymore. A light bench press is a way to tone and firm the chest. Dropping a bar while bench pressing can cause severe injury or even death, so make sure to have someone spot you for safety. The standard bench press weight bar weighs 45 lbs. alone, so start with the bar and work your way up to more weight as you become stronger.
Dumbbell Flyes
Dumbbell flyes are an exercise for building muscles in the chest and firming the breasts. All you need is a pair of dumbbells in the weight that you find the most comfortable. Aim for 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. Lie flat on a bench with a weight in each hand. Put the bottoms of your feet flat on the bench. With your arms bent slightly at the elbow, let your arms fall to the side and then slowly bring them back up toward the middle of your body. Then, let them back down. Make sure these movements are controlled to maximize your workout. Do a few sets of 10 to 15 for best results.
Dips
Dips are an easy, fun way to mix up your chest workout. You don't need a whole bunch of specialized equipment, either. Squat between two sturdy chairs, end tables or step stools. Put your weight on your hands and not on your feet, slowly lowering yourself toward the ground. Do a sort of push-up with your arms. Make sure to take all of the weight onto your hands and not your legs. This works the chest muscles as well as the triceps, and they can be difficult at first. Start with about five dips and work your way up as you become stronger.
