unfortunately, there's really nothing that you can do that will reduce the size of your breasts. yeah, you can do a lot of chest exercises (flat or incline bench, flys, etc) which will help tone the pectoral muscles but its not like "if you do the 'butt blaster' your ass will get smaller" kinda thing. you know? also, depending on how much body fat you have, you might be able to shrink them on a minute level if you lose some body fat (its a 100% false statement that you can loose fat in just one area like the whole belly fat craze). you lose fat off of your entire body when you lose fat.

so i wish there was something that i could tell you. unfortunately, i suffer from the same problem. im a 32C! they just won't go down!!! i hate it. ....very annoying to have breasts and be an athlete.

Thought as much! Sadly weight loss is not an option i'm 125lbs and i'd look a bloody stick with 34c tits if i lost much more! Not a good look!!!! I'll push on with the peck deck. Thanks for the response, good to know there's a well informed woman out there who's not afraid of the gym. There are some things us women just have to deal- can't complain I'd hate to be male!

Equus123, you seem to know an awful lot about weights/exercise. What can I do to increase the inside of my legs and not the outside so much? I use resistance weights at the gym, 2-3 times a week. Also, I have extremely tight hamstrings. Any suggestions on how I can get them to loosen other than the normal stretching?

I'm not equus, but i can tell you the way to loosen Ham's is to stretch, stretch and stretch! I have the same problem, I cycle all the time, I teach and paly tennis, I spend all day as a painter and decorator on my feet and i have the tightest hams as a result. The best time to do a real good stretch is in your warm down, always do stretches after 15 mins of light/warm up activity-never stretch cold! After you've cycled or worked out take time out to warm down- i always walk on the treadmill for 20 mins-then i get on with the stretches and like with weights you can do more than one set. I hate stretchin, there's just no fun in it!

Hope that helps

i think 2 years have passed since last entry. but, here goes:

Stretching hams
warm up first.

be sure to hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. release, repeat 10x.

Try this stretch:

lay on back. elevate one leg. use a strap on instep. keep leg straight. engage/tighten quad to stabilize. now, the key is to press down with your sacrum/lower abs to engage the stretch. hold 20-30 seconds. each repetition you may be able to bring your leg up further. repeat on other side. do 10 reps.

remember- you are where you are. anatomies vary and your ligaments may be short. no self-flogging allowed.
