Healthy Breast Exercises

Butterfly

Lie with your back flat on a bench (or the floor) keeping your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. With dumbbells in hand, extend your arms (keeping a slight bend in the elbow) over your chest with the elbows pointing out and the dumbbells facing each other. Lower your arms to the sides (forming a T shape) until you feel a stretch in your chest muscles. Bring your arms back together until the dumbbells nearly touch. Maintain a slight bend in the elbow throughout the whole exercise.

Do three sets of 15 repetitions, resting 1 minute between sets.

Don’t forget to stretch:

First:
Place your hands behind your head, keeping it straight, and pull your elbows back behind your ears. Hold for 20 seconds.

Second:
Stand perpendicularly to a wall and place the inside of your arm against its surface. Make sure your elbow is at shoulder level and that your arm is bent to a 90 degree angle. While keeping your feet in place, slowly turn your body away from your arm and the wall. Hold this stretch for 20 seconds and repeat with the opposite arm.
