If you want to increase or decrease your bust size, the exercises for both are similar. The only difference is that, if you feel your bust measurement is too large, you should do the exercise fairly rapidly. While if you are too small in the bosom, you should do them slowly and deliberately.

There are no muscles in the breasts themselves. They consist mainly of the mammary gland and fat. The breasts are held in position by skin and by the fibrous tissues which connects the bosom to the pectoral muscles. There are two large muscles which run from the neck to the waist on either side. Exercising these muscles makes them stronger and so helps to give the bosom a better shape. By exercising quickly, you also help to disperse some of the excess fat which may have settled on the bosom. Always wear a well-fitting brassiere while exercising.

Swimming is the ideal exercise for improving the shape of the bust ? especially the breast stroke or back stroke. The best time to exercise is early in the morning. But most bosom exercises are simple and can be carried out at odd moments during the day. They are most effective if they are performed daily even for just a few minutes at a time.

During the development period girls should go in for activities like dancing, skipping, swimming, riding, playing badminton and table tennis. These activities give vigorous exercise to the upper portion of the body. Dancing and aerobics have the advantage that not only do they build up stamina; they also encourage suppleness, grace and heightened sense of the body awareness vital to a relaxed and confident woman.

Breast exercises should be performed comfortably, and stopped if you feels any sort of pain. They should be done without weights, using the body's own resistance. Performing the breast exercises 2-3 times a week should help you achieve firmer, lifted breasts.

A woman can undertake breast exercises either on her own in the privacy of her home, or can join a gym or visit a therapist to take professional help.
