If your breasts aren't as perky as they used to be, you're not alone. There can be many causes, and you may be surprised to learn all of them. They include smoking, aging, menopause, pregnancy, simple gravity, quick weight gain, and even fast weight loss, according to Healthline. Sagging breasts affect more than women. Everyone's chest has the potential to get a little (or a lot) droopier during different periods of life. But don't fear, because we've put together the most effective workout to firm sagging breasts.
As for the firming process, it's not as easy as working out breast muscles, as they actually don't have any muscle. However, Matthew Scarfo of Lift Vault, a NASM-certified CPT-OPT, CES, PES, FNS, and Precision Nutrition Pn1, explains to Eat This, Not That!, "While breast tissue itself is mostly fat, it rests on the chest muscles, which can impact a person's chest shape. Building these muscles can help give someone the appearance of having a smaller or lifted chest."
Let's take a look at the best workout to firm sagging breasts, and next, be sure to check out The 6 Best Exercises for Strong and Toned Arms in 2022, Trainer Says. Scarfo has the following suggestions:
Pushups
"The pushup is one of the first [exercises] I recommend to someone because it's accessible and can have total-body benefits," Scarfo explains. "While building the chest muscle is one of the primary benefits of pushups, it also can help build stability in your abs and back, contributing to a better posture which can also minimize the appearance of a sagging chest."
Although pushups might sound a little intimidating to some, Scarfo has a helpful tip, saying, "If you can't do full pushups from your toes, you can elevate this movement or start from your knees. Start with sets of eight to 10."
Incline Chest Press
According to Scarfo, "Doing an incline bench or incline chest press [while] using a bench and a set of dumbbells or a barbell can help you build the upper part of your chest." While Scarfo points out that "this is something that a lot of women avoid because they worry it might make their chest look bulky," he explains that "building muscle here can minimize the appearance of sagging and lift the chest. This is a challenging movement, so use light weight, doing between 10 to 12 reps per set." Read More...
