I must, I must, I must, I must increase my bust! Exercises to help you out

A well shaped body is every woman’s dream. However, not everybody is endowed with the best of curves. A lot of women resort to cosmetic surgeries and implants for increasing the size of their breasts. Nevertheless, before you decide to go under the knife, try exercising for breast enlargement. Exercises strengthen the tissues in the breasts and uplift them. Exercises also promote growth of tissues in the breasts, thus contributing to enlargement. The combined benefits of exercises can give you bigger, fuller and firmer breasts.

Push ups

Lie on the floor with legs shoulder width apart. Raise your body with your toes and palms firmly pressing into the ground. Palms should be slightly wider than the width of your shoulders. Exhale while you lower your body towards the ground and inhale as you rise up again. Repeat twenty times every day to achieve breast enlargement. This exercise encourages growth of tissues in the breast, improves blood circulation and tightens and strengthens breast tissues. Begin with 5 counts and increase the count to twenty. Do not force yourself to do more push ups than you are comfortable with lest you end up with muscle cramps.

Inverted push ups or wall push ups

Inverted push ups or wall push ups are similar to floor push ups, the difference being that these are done against a wall instead of the floor. The benefits obtained are also similar. However, wall push ups are easier to perform. For women who have weak arms and find it tough to perform floor push ups, wall push ups are great alternatives. They are also called inverted push ups. Although easier to perform when compared to floor push ups, these push ups take more time to show results when compared to the former. You can perform 12 reps of the exercise and increase to two sets of 12 push ups over the time.

Presses with weights

Lie on the floor with a pillow under your head for support. In each hand, hold a 5 pound dumbbell. Lift your hands in a way that they are at a right angle to your body. Exhale while you bring the weights towards your breasts and inhale while you lift them back. The weights should not touch the breasts when lowered. The chin should be tucked in and the back should not arch. This exercise is to be repeated 12 times every day or twenty times every alternate day. You can also perform this exercise with barbells for enhanced benefits. Make sure that weights are balanced and well maintained.

Kneeling bends

Kneel down on the floor with knees shoulder width apart. Tuck in your chin, place hands behind your head and bend forward as much as you can. Ideally, you should bend up to your mid thigh. Exhale while bending forward and slowly inhale while rising up to the original position. When you bend, the strain should be on the back. Repeat the exercise twelve times. As you get used to it, perform three repetitions of 12 bends. This exercise is good for lifting and strengthening of breasts. It is also a great way of relieving backaches and a good exercise for core muscles.

Bending with weights

Stand with your back straight and hands to the sides. Hold 5 pound dumbbells in your hands. Slowly bend your knees, bend your upper body forward such that it is parallel to the floor and lift weights towards the chest so that the weights are also parallel to the floor. Exhale while getting into this position. As you inhale, get back into standing position. This exercise is to be repeated twelve times in the beginning and three reps of 12 lifts as you get stronger. Make sure that the weights are balanced and your hands do not shiver when you lift them. If you find the weights too heavy, switch to a smaller weight.

Twists on a chair

Sit on a straight backed armless chair which is sturdy and without cushions. Place your arms behind your head and twist as far left as you can while exhaling. Your lower body should not twist. Only the torso, chest and head are to be twisted. Hold the position and count till five. As you inhale, come back to the original position. Now, exhale and twist to the right. Repeat the procedure. This exercise is to be performed twenty times for quick benefits. An alteration of similar twists can be performed while kneeling down. Your buttocks should be resting on the calves. Twist and follow the same breathing pattern.

Chair dips

Place yourself at the edge of a sturdy chair. Do not use a chair with wheels since they are not stable. Place hands on the seat beside your hips. They should be shoulder width apart. Legs should be bent at right angles. To begin the exercise, slowly raise yourself from the chair with your hands for support. Slide your legs forward and bend down. When you bend, do not sit back on the chair. Push yourself off the chair and lower your hips below the seat level. Notice that your arms form a right angle at the elbows. Hold the position for five counts, lift your body and seat yourself back on the edge of the chair. Begin with eight counts.

Yoga poses

Lie on your stomach with hands along with sides. Legs should be together. As you exhale, lift your upper body as torso off the ground as much as you can. Hold the pose for five counts and lower your body back to the floor. Perform this asana five to eight times every day. For the second pose, clasp your hands behind you. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly as you bend forward. As you bend, lift hands such that they are perfectly vertical. As you inhale, raise yourself and sit back straight. You might find it tough to bend all the way to the floor in the beginning. Gradually, as your body gains flexibility, you can increase the stretch.

Exercise ball dips

Place an exercise ball in front of you. Stand a comfortable distance away from the ball so that you back is straight when you place your hands on the ball. Your back and legs should make an angle at the hips. Do not let your legs or your back bend. Push your chest down towards the ball while exhaling and raise your body while inhaling. Perform three repetitions of 12 counts each. Working out with exercise ball is easier than floor or wall push ups since you have better support in the form of the ball. The results are also more enhanced.
