How to Firm Up Large Breasts

Firm up your large breasts with exercise.

Women with large breasts often fear that the breasts will sag and look less full as they age. To take care of her figure, a woman should include strength training exercises so that she can build muscle to support the breasts and keep them firm. Exercises aimed at building chest muscles do not just benefit men, but women benefit too, because the muscle that they build will help keep breasts firm.

Things You'll Need

• 2 dumbbells
• Bench
• 1 chair or step
• Exercise ball

Instructions

1. Lie down with your back flat on a workout bench. Hold a dumbbell that is a comfortable weight for you in each hand and move your arms up in front of you with your hands facing down toward your feet. Slowly pull the dumbbells down toward your chest. Keep your arms and hands steady and do not let your arms shake. Raise your hands and arms, holding them straight as you move them back to the starting position. Repeat this 10 to 12 times to start and work your way up in reps as you become comfortable.

2. Place yourself so that you are lying flat on a bench with the dumbbells raised arm length above your chest. Turn your hands so that they face each other and touch the dumbbells together. Slowly lower your arms by bringing them out and down until your elbows are even with your shoulders. Keep your arms and your shoulders steady, and do not allow them to shake or move in a jerky motion.

3. Place a step flat on the floor and get into a push-up position. Place your feet about the same width apart as your hips and place your hands on the floor about shoulder width apart. Hold your body straight and steady as you lower yourself to the ground, and stop when you are about 2 inches from the floor. Push yourself up with your arms until you are in the start position. Repeat this declined push-up 10 to 12 times.

4. Place your feet on an exercise ball and hold your feet about hip width apart. Place your hands shoulder width apart as if you are starting to do a push-up. Hold your body straight and lower your body to the floor in a push-up. This is another variation of the decline push-up that has a harder decline than the step. Repeat the exercise ball push-up 10 to 12 times.
