How to Tone Sagging Breasts

Breasts sag as part of the natural aging process. Sagging is caused when the Cooper's ligaments in the breast, which hold the breast in a firm position, lose resiliency. Since sagging is caused by ligaments, there is no exercise or cream that can tone breasts. But, building up the pectoral muscles that sit behind the breasts, can create the illusion of firmer breasts.

Instructions

1. Eat a healthy diet that is rich in vitamin C and omega fatty acids. Both of which are used by the body to rebuild body tissues including ligaments. These nutrients will not reverse sagging in breasts but they can help to slow future sagging.

2. Drink plenty of water. Water is essential to tissue health in the body.

3. Exercise daily to build body stamina and overall muscle tone. Walking, bike riding and roller skating are examples of good exercise activities. Variate your workout routine to keep you muscles alert. Changing it up, keeps you from getting bored and will increase your chances of sticking with an exercise routine.

4. Take a Pilates class. Pilates builds muscles all over the body, including pectoral muscles. Toning the whole body creates a more overall pleasant and symmetrical body appearance.

5. Do 20 push-ups every other day. Push-ups strengthen pectoral muscles, which creates the illusion of firmer breasts. It may take awhile to build-up the strength to be able to complete 20 consecutive push-ups. Start out with as many as you can, and gradually increase over the weeks or months until you reach your goal of 20. Only work out the pectoral muscles every other day to give the muscles a chance to rest and rebuild themselves.

6. Strengthen your back and shoulders by doing shoulder shrugs to create better posture, which contributes to the appearance of a toned chest. To do shoulder shrugs, stand up, keep your posture straight, and keep your head facing forward. Slowly lift your shoulders up towards your head and then slowly drop your shoulders back to their normal position. Do shoulder shrugs every other day. Start with 20 at a time. Over the course of a few weeks to a few months, work your way up to doing 50 shoulder shrugs at a time.
