How to Firm Breasts Naturally

As we age, gravity begins to take its toll on our bodies, especially the feature we hope will remain perky, our breasts. Add months of breastfeeding for some women, and breasts can take a trip southward faster than you can say, "Push-up bra." Aside from drastic surgeries and questionable remedies, there are things you can do to firm breasts naturally. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

Get Physical

1

Shore up your pectoral muscles, the muscles supporting the breasts, through everyone's favorite activity--exercise.

2

Go swimming. Swimming is one of the best exercises to firm breasts, because it requires the pectoral muscles to continually work (that's why you don't see too many Olympic swimmers with saggy breasts).

3

Go to the playground, find the nearest pull-up bar and try a few. Yes, you can do it, girl.

4

Drop to the ground, and do as many push-ups as you can.

Dumbbell Press

5

Lie on your back with 3-5 lb. free weights.

6

Raise the weights over your head with your arms fully extended from the shoulder.

7

Lower the weights to your chest, squeezing your pectoral muscles.

8

Raise the weights back to the original position.

9

Complete two sets of 15 repetitions.

Butterfly Press

10

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 of the dumbbell press.

11

Open your arms perpendicular to the sides of your body, with the weights not quite reaching the floor.

12

Raise the weights back to the original press.

13

Feel the pectoral muscles working as you complete two sets of 15 repetitions.

Give 'Em Some Support

14

Pick the right bra for you. An average-sized woman should wear a good underwire bra to help beat the pull of gravity.

15

Get more support if you're large-breasted or extremely active, because you will have more pull on your breast tissue and muscles.

16

Purchase a sports bra to give your breasts some extra help during sports activities.
