Breasts tend to sag naturally over time. These exercises recommended by experts can give you firmer breasts.From extreme weight loss to breastfeeding to childbirth, there are many factors in a woman’s life that can cause her breasts to sag, quite literally. Why else would you think breasts start to sag when all of this happens?
Because breast tissue stretches and sags, we even have to resort to wearing uncomfortable underwire bras. In fact, that’s not the only disadvantage of your sagging breasts.
Weakening breast tissue also puts increased pressure on the cervical spine and can lead to spondylitis and poor posture, according to Dr. Kruti Khemani, a sports physiotherapist and founder of Continuum Physiotherapy .
That is why I recommend the following five exercises to tone your breasts permanently:
Exercise 1. Lying dumbbell fly
Lie face up on the floor or on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor.
Hold a pair of dumbbells above your shoulders with your elbows slightly bent.
Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lower the weights until your elbows are level with your chest.
Keep the same bend in your elbows as you press the weights back up.
Repeat 10 to 20 times.
Exercise 2. Overhead arm press
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grab the dumbbells with your palms facing up.
Raise both arms first to shoulder height and then straight up above your head.
Carefully lower your arms back to the starting position.
Do 20 repetitions.
Exercise 3. Dumbbell chest press on the floor
Lie on the floor with dumbbells in your hands and feet flat on the floor.
Push the dumbbells up until your arms are completely straight.
Lower your arms until your elbows touch the floor.
Perform 10 to 20 lifts.
Exercise 4. Push-ups
Start on all fours with your hands on the floor, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart but in line with your shoulders.
Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
Tighten your abs as much as possible and keep them tight.
Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, making sure your elbows are tucked in close to your torso.
Pause and return to the starting position.
Do 20 reps.
Exercise 5. Triceps push-ups
For this exercise, also known as triceps dips , all you need is a chair, bench, couch, or step and you’re good to go.
Make sure to keep your butt and lower back close to the chair (or whatever object you’re using) to maximize the benefits of this exercise.
Perform 10 reps.
