You don’t need pricey plastic surgery to create a better-looking bust. You can get an au naturel lift with our six easy exercises.

You’ll be working more than the obvious when you follow this routine. As well as targeting chest muscles that surround and support your breasts, you’ll hone in on postural muscles in your back and shoulders. When these muscles weaken, your shoulders can slump and your upper back can slouch, allowing perfectly presentable breasts to retreat.

All it takes is a few easy exercises to give your bust a boost. Building up the pectoral muscles in your chest is key, but the secret to making your breasts pop is to improve your posture by strengthening muscles like the deltoids in the back of your shoulders, and the rhomboids and lats in your upper back. Include the following moves in your weekly workouts for your best breasts ever!

HOW TO DO IT:

• Choose a weight that is heavy enough to challenge your target muscles, but not so heavy that your joints feel strained. Start with dumbbells that are at least 5 to 8 pounds and gradually work up to using 6 to 20 pounds, depending on the exercise.

• Start by performing one set of eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise, and work up to doing three sets of eight to 12 reps. Do this workout two to three times a week, with a rest day in between.

• Modify this workout to match your fitness level. Follow the recommended moves, or adapt them as needed with a similar exercise that is easier or more challenging.

What you need: weights, a stability ball and a resistance band.
