Push-Up Holds
Push up hold is a great exercise for firming your chest, and as an added bonus it will also strengthen your back and core muscles. You can do it at home without any special equipment. For an easier variation you can place your knees on the ground. It is also one of the best exercises for firming and lifting your breasts.
1. Lie on your stomach and place hands on the ground next to your armpits and push yourself up so your elbows are slightly bent. Make sure you keep your stomach tensed.
2. Bend elbows and lower body until hovering a few inches above the floor. Hold for 1 deep breath, and then press half-way up and hold for 1 deep breath.
3. Then repeat again by lowering back down to your lowest point, holding for 1 deep breath and coming back to your half-way point for one more hold.
4. Repeat as many times as you can.
T-plank
This is a good overall exercise that tightens your belly, chest, arms, back, glutes and legs too. It builds strength in these areas with body weight rather than equipment (you can add weights for extra challenge). It is also one of the best exercises for firming and lifting your breasts.
1. Hold your body up in a pushup position, with your legs wider than hip width for more stability.
2. Lift your right arm, holding the weight up, and open your body all the way to the right making a “T” shape with your body. Remain in that position for 10 seconds.
3. Return to your starting position and do the same on left side. That’s one rep. Do 5-10 reps.
If you find this exercise too difficult to hold for more than a second or two, put your knee or knees on the ground. As you gain strength, holding the pose for longer periods of time should become much easier.
How to Make It Harder
- Lift top leg 6 inches off bottom leg, so top leg is hovering in the air.
- Use five to 10-pound weights as handles.
Pull Down Band
If you want to take a break from your dumbbells, and you have resistance band at home, you can add this exercise as well.

3. Pull your left hand down until it reaches chest height. Hold, and then return to the starting position.
