Most women are not satisfied with the size of their breast size and shape. However a boob job (breast augmentation) is not the only option to obtain firm and perky breasts. You might have bony, flat or even sagging breasts, but before taking drastic measures like going under the knife, try various types of chest exercises first.
How can chest exercises help build firm and perky breasts?
Regular chest workouts can tone up the chest (pectoral) muscles which underly the breast tissue. Once the pectoral and other stabilizers (other muscle groups such as anterior deltoids and triceps) have been strengthened, the breasts will ultimately look and feel firmer. Imagine an invisible bra pulling the breasts closer together to visibly lift and shape breasts, this is what chest exercises will do!

Common non-sense
Do chest exercises make your breasts smaller?
Absolutely not!
Do chest exercises make you buff?
Depending on your exercise goals, they can. But the basic exercises introduced above at lower weights will help to firm and tone, not buff up. Women don’t have enough testosterone (growth hormone) in addition to other factors for that to naturally occur so don’t worry ladies! Get started and be on your way to firm and perky boobs the natural way!
