A strong chest makes everyday activities easier, helps keep the shoulder joint healthy and gives you a fuller, perkier looking bust line. Weight training will not decrease the amount of breast tissue you have, only weight loss will do that. You may find that regular chest workouts actually make the breasts appear larger. As you develop the pectorals, they support the breast tissue, creating a higher, rounder appearance.
Step 1
Work the chest muscles two to three times a week. Perform large, multiple muscle exercises, such as the bench press, first, and follow up with smaller moves, like chest flys. Complete three sets of 12 reps of each exercise.
Step 2
Complete your upper body workout, performing exercises for the back, shoulders and arms. Again, use enough weight that three sets of 12 repetitions feels difficult.
Step 3
Weigh yourself regularly. Weight lifting does not burn as many calories as cardiovascular exercise does, but it does burn some. If you notice your weight going down, you may want to increase your calorie intake slightly to prevent your breasts from shrinking.
