We cannot avoid gravity. As we get older, parts of our body seem to sag. And the most troubling place is women’s breasts. But there is food news: all hope is not lost.
There are some simple exercises you can do to give your breasts the appearance of lift. As you know breasts are made of fat tissue, so you can’t tighten the fatty tissue but underneath there is a muscle mass. The pectoral muscles can be built up in a specific way that allows your breasts to obtain a higher, firmer look.
You can strengthen your pectoral muscles with simple following exercises. Choose at least three of them and do them two times per week or three times to see results sooner. These exercises are just a start and encourage women to try different ones. Different people will respond differently to various exercises, so you have to find out what is good for you. You also have to mix up your workout so your muscles don’t get bored, because then they stop developing.
Begin with 1 set of 10 to 15 repetitions eventually increasing up to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions. Use weights, this will make your muscles feel fatigued when you get to the end of each set. When the exercise becomes too easy, add more weight or another set.
Push-Up Lie on your belly on the floor; keep your hands under you shoulders. Hold your feet shoulder-width apart, with your toes tucked under so that you are balancing on the balls of your feet. Contract your abdominals so your back is parallel to the floor. Hold your head and neck at level with your spine. Inhale as you lower your chest as close to the floor as possible. Exhale when you return to the starting position.
Flat Chest Press Lie on your back on a bench, take a dumbbell in each hand, your wrists should be in a neutral position, palms facing forward. Bend your elbows at the angle of 90º and hold them out to the sides parallel with shoulders. Exhale as you stretch your arms toward the ceiling with knuckles facing up. Do not touch the weights together, and do not squeeze your chest at the top of the motion. Inhale as you return to the starting position.
Incline Chest Press Lie on your back on an incline bench. Take a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward. Bend your elbows at the angle of 90º, and hold them out to the sides parallel with shoulders. Make an exhale as you stretch your arms toward the ceiling with knuckles facing up. Don’t forget not to touch the weights together, and not to squeeze your chest at the top of the motion. Make an inhale as you return to the starting position.
Cable Crossover Stand in the center of a cable tower with feet hip-width apart. Place one foot lightly in front of the other.

Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, make an exhale as you pull the handles down in front of you until your hands come together, hold briefly. Make an inhale as you slowly return to the starting position.
