4 exercises for your pectoral muscle

Your breasts mainly consist of fat and glandular tissue, which you cannot train. Your pectoral muscle does, and by training it, your breasts appear extra protruding and firm.

Exercise 1

Press your palms together in front of your chest and hold for a few seconds. Release and repeat the exercise a few times.

Exercise 2

Say "iii" (possibly in your mind, depending on where you are) and pull the corners of your mouth down firmly, so that your chest muscles also tighten. If you do the exercise right, you will feel it right away.

Exercise 3

Lie on the floor with your legs bent and your feet on the floor. Hold a half-pound weight in each hand, or a 0.5 liter bottle of water. Extend your arms straight above you and lower them to shoulder height by your side while keeping them straight. Don't let them touch the floor and bring your arms back up. Do the exercise slowly, so that your muscles have to work extra hard.

Exercise 4

The classic:push-ups. 3 times a day it does it 10 times. If this does not work in the classic way, choose one of the following options:

  1. Put your hands against the wall, your feet more than half a meter from the wall and make sure your body forms a straight line. Now move your body towards the wall. Get a little further away from the wall.
  2. Put your knees on the floor, heels in the air, upper body in a straight line – plank – and put your hands on the floor. Now press.
