Easy Exercises to Firm Up Breasts

Exercises that firm up the breasts can be easily done at home or at a gym. Firming the breast area, or pectoral muscles, is done with moves that help burn fatty tissue while building muscles. Exercises can be done with no weight at all or by using dumbbells or even household items like cans and bottles. Exercises should be done in two or three sets with each set containing 10 to 15 repetitions.

Standing Butterflies

Stand upright with legs shoulder-width apart. Knees should be slightly bent with the arms dangling at the sides. While keeping the arms straight, bring the arms together in front of the body and raise them to chest level. Keeping arms parallel to floor, spread the arms outward. Return the arms in front of body at chest level, then lower the arms back to the sides.
