"I must, I must, I must increase my bust!"

OK, so exercise won't increase your cup size. But it is a natural way to make your breasts sit higher and more even on your chest. "Exercise builds the muscles of the chest wall, so your breasts will look less droopy," says Mindy Mylrea, a fitness instructor in Santa Cruz, California. "If you strengthen your back muscles, too, you can improve your posture, which can make your chest look a hundred times better." Try to do the following moves every other day.

The push-up: Assume the women's push-up position -- on your hands and knees on the floor with your back flat, like a plank of wood. To target the correct muscles (your chestwall muscles), place your hands on the floor in line with your bust, not with your shoulders. Keeping abdominal muscles tight and back straight, bend your arms and lower your torso toward the floor until your chest almost touches it, then push yourself back up to the starting position. Work your way up to three sets of ten repetitions. After you've built up strength, increase the benefits by putting your toes instead of knees on the floor.

The back extension: After each set of push-ups, lie facedown on the floor, lift one arm and the opposing leg a few inches straight in the air simultaneously, and hold for a count of ten. Do the move twice on each side. Back extensions strengthen your upper and lower back muscles, thus improving posture.
