in Fitness and Exercise
Ok so I am pretty much a newb when it comes to fitness. I know that the breasts are just fatty tissue and glands and nonsense (lol) but I know that I can work my Pectoral muscles and that will be better than doing my current nothing, yes? I'm not expecting a cup increase but that's not what I want anyway (I'm between a C and D, I'm content lol). All I'm looking for is a little lift and possibly definition between on my upper chest. I mean if guys can get that "line" couldn't a woman? Idk if I'm making sense but hopefully someone is on my same wavelength ;)

So, all that being said, can someone point me in the right direction for some easy/simple beginner exercises I can do at home? Thanks so much! I appreciate any info you can share with me :)

    Check these out. http://www.dumbbell-exercises.com/exercises/chest/

    I'm working out at the gym, but I've basically been doing the lying fly on its own and already feeling and seeing a difference. If you don't have dumbells, then just weighted water bottles or tins of food are effective as well.

    Pushups is one of the simplest ways. They did give my girls some lift. Bench press is also good.

    Essentially the same thing a guy would need to do. If you are a complete noob then start with bodyweight exercises. In fact, I recommend looking up a good bodyweight exercise program such as:

    Nerd Fitness
    Convict Conditioning
    You Are Your Own Gym
    Etc.

    Your other female assets such as your butt, hips, and thighs will also benefit from such a program.

    I personally like the bench press and the dumb bell pullover.

    I lock my elbows with a slight bend, not completely straight arm.

    Edit. I've just noticed that he's lying on the whole bench in that video. It was the first video I saw...I don't lie on it like that.
    I rest my shoulders on the bench perpendicular

    It will help a little- but ultimately you are working the muscles under the chest- so it's limited.

    Although I have to admit that line of pec definition on a woman- it really makes a difference- really helps create a line of definition. I think it's thuper thexy.

    Bench press. Heavy bench press. That's all I do for the chest and I totally have "pec-cleavage". It's all the cleavage I have actually....
