Best Exercises for Better Cleavage



Breasts are composed of adipose tissue or fat. Thus, you cannot enhance the size of breasts or make them bigger, by itself. However, beneath the breasts, lies a complex network of pectoral muscles (pecs). These are referred to as muscles of chest. By exercising the pectorals, you can augment the overall volume of your bustline.
You need to combine various types of chest exercises. These exercises are useful for improving your overall posture and getting rid of underarm fat along with increasing your bust size and making your cleavage perkier.




Overhead Dumbbell/Military Press
Overhead Dumbbell/Military Press
  • Stand up straight or sit on a small stool or flat chair. Keep your shoulders slightly back.
  • You can use two, one liter water bottles as the free weights or dumbbells. Hold one weight, in each hand.
  • Let your arms slightly lose and raise the weights to your shoulder level. The stance should have your elbows below the wrist, at a right angle to your bust.
  • Now, take a deep breath. Hold your breath and raise the weights above your head. Bring them back to the shoulder level and exhale slowly.

Front Dumbbell Raise
Front Dumbbell Raise
  • Stand absolutely straight with your hands on your thighs.
  • Hold the 1 kg free weights in each hand.
  • Your palms should be facing your body.
  • Now, raise the right hand, until it reaches the level of your shoulder. Slowly, bring it back. Do the same with the left hand.
Lateral Fly/Raises
Lateral Fly/Raises

  • The starting position is the same as you will be using in the front dumbbell raises. However, the hands need to be positioned at your sides, i.e. parallel to each other, facing your hip, on either side.
  • Ensure your legs are as wide as the shoulder width to ensure easy movement. Like a bird extends her wings, raise your arms to the side, up to the shoulder level.
  • Bring down the arms to the starting position. You have now completed one repetition.
Push-ups

Push-ups
Push-ups are the ideal way to firm-up your pectorals and add volume to the bustline.
Wide-hand push-ups: Try to do more of the wide-hand Push-ups. Here, the stress induced by the body movement is spread across the pectorals. Close grip means you are concentrating the effort on your arms.
Modified push-up: If the conventional push-up is hard for you, you can try the modified push-up. Here, your feet, up to the knee level are placed on the floor. By raising your body on your arms and knee caps, you reduce the effort needed to complete the movement.

Beauty Tips That Will Make Him Melt

When it comes to pleasing a man, sometimes a gal just wants to throw in the proverbial towel. There are so many questions when it comes to what men like and so few definitive answers. For instance, "does he think my red lipstick is sexy or slutty?" or "are my fake eyelashes a turn-on or off?" And these are the easy questions. Trying to figure out what they want emotionally is a whole other issue. One reserved for all-nighter conversations or the therapist's couch (NOT our field of expertise, sorry). The guidance we can give you in the relationship department is strictly beauty related, but every smart seductress knows that her beauty can act as her secret weapon to getting a man's attention and affection. That's why we're sharing some sexy beauty tips that are tried, true and sure to heat things up. No matter what the temperature is outside, these beauty tips will make him melt

It's important to remember that what some guys love about the way a girl looks, others guys don't. One thing's for sure: there is no single thing that every guy likes when it comes to your beauty practices. However, there are a few things that are guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of most guys. To find out what those are, we pounded the virtual beauty pavement (by way of Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and asked men and women to nail down exactly what it is that guys like most when it comes to a woman's beauty. And here is what we got: specific makeup looks, secret scents, sexy hairstyles and beauty tips that have made pulses race all over the country.
Before we show you the beauty tips that'll send his temperature soaring, allow a quick obligatory side note: while these beauty tips will make you irresistible, no hairstyle or makeup style can look hot unless you feel confident wearing it or doing it. Feeling uncomfortable in your skin (or makeup or hairstyle) is NOT sexy to any man. A woman has to "own" her style to look sexy -- period. With that said, be yourself and try on some of these sexy beauty secrets, but don't blame us when he won't leave you alone.

Tip 1: Expose your lips

While some men like a rouged lip, most replied back with a resounding "NO!" when asked if they preferred a mouth coated in lipstick. One woman said, "my boyfriend LOVES it when I wear a subtle lip gloss that shows off the texture of my natural lips. He hates to kiss me when I'm rockin' the red." One guy said, "For some reason, the smell of lipstick has, and always will, remind me of my grandma. I'm sorry, but no one deserves that imagery."


Tip 2: Exfoliate and shave

"I find it the sexiest when I'm kissing a girl and I lightly brush my hand over her legs and her skin is super smooth. It's just the ultimate in femininity," says one guy. "There is this part on a woman's belly, just around her belly button and around her hips, that is so smooth that it just begs for my lips," another man claims.


Tip 3: Get regular bikini waxes

Felling confident "down there," is very important to a lot of ladie's sexual self-confidence. "When I know all that 'business' is taken care of, I can just relax and have a good time [when we get intimate]. Which, of course, is all my husband really wants," says one woman. Lots of men we asked shared the "I just want her to be comfortable" sentiment: "whatever is going to make my girlfriend feel the sexiest, is what I want," says one devoted boyfriend.


Tip 4: Let him see your eyes

"Nothing is more unattractive to me than when I see a girl with a caked on face and big phony eyelashes. It just looks like she is trying way too hard which is telling me she is the kind of girl that requires way too much effort," says one guy. Other men replied with similar distaste when asked how they felt about faux eyelashes: "Not a fan. With fake eyelashes, you get this strange plastic look around the eyes that doesn't fit, unless the rest of the body is plastic as well ... if you know what I mean." Some guys didn't mind them, but one warned, "go ahead and wear them if you think they look hot, but just so you ladies know, it is a huge turn off if one of those things comes off. Ew."


Tip 5: Wear your hair down

 Across the board, men prefer that women wear their hair down rather than up in any kind of "styled" 'do. "Women just look more approachable, like they are down to have a good time when their hair is free-flowing and not all hairsprayed up," says one man. Another guy agreed, "I want to run my fingers through your hair and I can't do that when it's got a bunch of junk in it."

Beauty Tips from Women Men Love




You might have the perfect date-night 'do, but even the savviest beauty junkie can learn a thing or two from these sought-after sirens.

Dry Spells

"I couldn't survive without dry shampoo," claims ESPN's Erin Andrews. "Before I go on camera, it gives me that Marisa Miller-vibe that I'm always striving to have!"


FAUX PAS, NO MORE!

"Topstick isn't just for toupees! I use the wig-adhesive when I'm taping live segments. I simply take one side of the double-sided tape off, place it on my skin where I want the top to lay, and then I take the other side off and press the garment into place. Voila! No more wardrobe malfunctions!" says actress and TV personality Vanessa Minnillo

CURLY CUES

"Curling your lashes really makes a huge difference," explains 30 Rock star Katrina Bowden. "It opens up the eye area and makes your eyes stand out."

Looking beautiful!!


Its a dream of every woman to look beautiful and have healthy and glowing skin. They buy lot of creams and apply them on their skin to make it fair and improve the glow.

Winter robs the skin of its moisture. Skin tends to get drained of its moisture content and becomes dry and itchy. Skin needs extra care during winter. Start using a moisturiser that suits your skin texture. Nutrious foods also contributes to the skin texture. Snack on fruits like avocado and papaya.

In very hot regions always opt for a cream with sun protection( SPF ABOVE 30). Applythe sun block cream on the moisturuser atleast 15-20 minutes before you step out. TheUV rays from the compute can also damage your skin. So its important to apply sun block creams even if you work in an air-conditioned room.


Skin is the most exposed part of the body. It is subjected to intrinsic as well as extrinsic ageing. Intrinsic aging is the natural ageing process, that is as we grow older, the sbaceous glands do not produce enough oil and hence wrinkles start developing. Extrinsic ageing is caused because of our lifestyle.


Biological ageing process cannot be stopped, however we could take measures to grow old gracefully.
Dark circles are yet another culprit that damages the glow in the face. Dark circles could be hereditary or due to medical conditions, smoking, long hours before the computer. Basically the stress on the eye region is represented in form of dark circles. Beauticians can assist you with customised program to get rid of the dark circles.


Intake of balanced diet is the key for soft and glowing skin. Do away with smoking and drinking if you need soft and glowing skn. Periodic cleansing routines is essentail to maintain the skin. Visit a beautiican to analyse yor skin type and provide you with essential treatments.

Massage therapy


A combination of shiatsu massage, foot reflexology and Swedish massage, irons out fatigue and body pain. Lie back and relax as you get slathered with almond oil and massaged and pounded for two whole hours. Usually Almond oil is the base oil and depending on your body type and stress levels different oils are used.  Each stroke is different. The finger tips are used in shiatsu while Swedish massage incorporates strokes such as kneading, and knuckling.

A generous portion of almond is poured on the legs followed by the shiatsu massage, a preventive therapy that helps get rid of the niggling body pain. Shiatsu originated in Japan and is derived from the words shi, meaning finger, and atsu, meaning pressure. “Reflexology improves circulation and creates a feeling of head to toe relaxation by stimulating the pressure points on the feet.
 These massages do not just relive you of stress and spasms but also improve blood circulation, stimulate the skin and benefit your body in many other ways.

Watch your weight – Trim your tummy

Call it a sign of prosperity or put it down to ageing or blame it on your job, genes or metabolism. Pot bellies are neither healthy nor attractive in these days of six-pack abs and size zero waistlines. Often they are a sign of underlying disease and/or contribute to other problems elsewhere in the body such as the lower back, for instance.
If you are wondering what the normal abdominal girth for Indians should be here is what doctors are agreed upon – 90cm for men and 85cm for women.
It’s alarming to see an increasing number of overweight and obese people in our society. With mordernisation, people are more into sedentary, office based jobs. As a result, only a small percentage of the population meets the minimum requirement of physical activity that’s recommended, resulting in an increase in obesity, and related lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. People develop a paunch when activity is less and calorie intake is more”.
Obesity is not always age-related
Obesity is not necessarily the case. Childhood obesity is a major problem in countries such as U.S.A high-calorie, saturated-fat diet combined with physical activity reduces adipocytes (fat cells), helps control blood sugar and blood pressure. More important, it improves lipid profile. Ideally a person should have at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity, physical activity daily but sizeable section of the population fails to meet this requirement.”
Pot bellies are caused by the accumulation of subcutaneous (under the skin) and visceral fat. Age does have some influence, but pot bellies develop mainly due to consumption of high calorie food and the lack of physical activity. This results in accumulation of fat on the abdominal wall. Men become obese around the waist and women, around the hips. Genetically too there may be a these regions. Sometimes obesity is associated with endocrine disorders.
Can a pot belly be got rid of through diet and exercise?
Overweight and obese patients can achieve an average weight loss of 8 percent in 3 to 12 months by reducing intake by 500-1000 calories per day This has been found to reduce abdominal fat. The rate of weight loss may be lesser in diabetics compared to non-diabetics. Very low calorie diets that include proteins and dietary supplements result in greater weight loss initially but over the long term are only marginally better than low calorie diets. Unless accompanied by physical activity, weight loss through diet control alone does not reduce cardiac rick. Similarly, exercise alone may not be helpful in controlling obesity as restriction of calories also plays an important role. The number of adipocytes (fat cells) is more in some individuals. Hence, it is difficult for them to keep obesity in check. This type of abdominal obesity can be reduced if one does regular exercise and avoids a high calorie, high fat diet.
Sometimes aerobic exercises alone do not reduce a tummy. It may be necessary to combine it with yoga and specific abdominal exercises
One can avoid a pot belly by cutting down on high calorie foods such as fried foods, sweets and alcohol and engaging in regular physical activity. A thirty-minute brisk walk will rev up your metabolism and increase your calorie burning capacity. As for exercise, there are special crunches for the stomach. Eating on time is a must.
Nothing is impossible (that includes getting rid of a pot belly), as long as one is motivated, follows a good exercise routine and learns to says ‘no’ to some kind of food. Results can certainly be achieved over a period of time. Once people cross 30, their metabolism slows down. Hence, those over 40 have to put in twice the usual effort to lose weight. But losing weight makes you looks younger and alone is a powerful motivating factor. Cardio exercises, strength and core exercises, mid section abdominal and lower back strengthening exercises ( If you have  a pot belly you are prone to get lower back problems over a period of time) squats and lunges are advised. It is important to start on a programme in consultation with qualified fitness trainer in order to adopt the right technique. Combining functional training aerobic workouts, flexibility exercises and yoga will help. Attempting to develop six-pack abs in two months (even those who train for six to eight hours a day find it difficult to achieve this) is foolish
Exercises that involve bending forward or raising the leg may not be possible for individuals with the big tummy. One has to work at it to be able to do these over a period of time.
Instead of holding your breath and trying to tuck your tummy in, follow the advice of your doctor, dietician and fitness consultant to achieve real results that will pay off in the long run.
BATTLE OF THE BULGE – Pot belly causes
§  Sedentary lifestyle and increased calorie intake cause obesity.
§  Obesity can even be a problem in children
§  A paunch is the result of accumulated abdominal fat.
§  Abdominal obesity leads to insulin-resistance.
§  Obese people are at risk of suffering from hypertension, heart disease and diabetes.

WAIST MANAGEMENT – Possible solutions for Pot belly reduction
§  Reduce daily intake by 500-1000 calories.
§  A 30 minute brisk walk everyday helps in shedding weight.
§  Aerobics can be combined with yoga and specific abdominal exercises.
§  Losing weight makes you look younger
§  It takes time and patience to achieve results

Goodbye excuses:

This doesn't mean you can't eat and lose weight, you just need to be smarter about what you eat.
8/10

3. Eat Smarter

Eating Less is elementary and will work, but eating smarter is even better. Eat foods that are low on the glycemic index because they keep your energy even and help you to maintain fat burning all day and night. Eating to lose weight is important, so choose Low GI foods to keep energy levels even and fat burning at a maximum.
9/10

4. Rest And Recovery

Without adequate recovery you can damage you body and health, so make sure you get enough sleep and rest to rejuvenate your mind and body.
10/10

5. Exercise Smarter

Any exercise is good, but intelligent exercise is fantastic, it's impossible to form a 100 ways to lose weight list without making clear the benefits of proper exercise methods.

General rules for exercise are that:

Harder is better, longer isn't,

Good form with weight training is essential for safety,

Warm ups are a necessity,

Don't eat before a workout unless you are a professional bodybuilder or an Olympic athlete.

If you learn the right exercises for your body and lifestyle your progress will be far greater. The best exercise to lose weight is weight training as muscle is the ultimate fat burner, so you should try an add some more muscle in order to add fat burning power.

You can also use simple exercises. Most people know you can lose weight by walking a few minutes per day and if you're smart, you will walk faster and get the heart rate up.

You really can lose weight by walking.

10/10

6. Cheats/Rewards

Having a naughty meal once or twice a week is fine and should be seen as a reward for your hard work. Never cut your favorite foods out of your diet or you'll cave in eventually and eat them by the bucket. Plan to have your favorites once or twice a week and have something to look forward to. This solution really works , because you never really go without.

It means you can still eat and lose weight.

7/10

7. Hide The Bad Food

Out of sight out of mind - hide the junk from plain sight to avoid temptation.
7/10

8. Substitute

Find subs for bad food like lower fat milk, reduced salt/fat margarine, fat free sour cream, multi-grain bread and many other great alternatives.
9/10

9. Park Further Away

Don't try to score a lazy close park, instead find one that makes you walk a little further - C'mon.

Walk that little bit extra, it's a fast way to lose weight

6/10

10. Protein

Protein doesn't spike your blood sugar and give you insulin lows, it doesn't get stored as fat with ease, it makes you feel fuller, it lowers the g.i of the carbs that you eat with it and its good for cell repair - add low fat protein sources to your diet.
8/10

11. Fiber

Fiber cleans your insides, speeds up your metabolism and helps you lose weight. Of all the examples on this 100 ways to lose weight list, fiber is one of the most important. You must have fiber to be healthy and it's easy to find in low g.i foods, so if you eat right you'll get enough fiber.

Adding fiber to the diet is a great way to lose weight really fast, because it really speeds the metabolism up. In fact I believe it is the most underrated way to lose weight really fast.

Fiber Works!

10/10

12. Drink More Water

Not having enough will kill you - "nuff said".......well there is more to it. Drinking plentiful amounts of water stops you from retaining water under the skin, in fact you can lose subcutaneous water that looks like fat just by drinking enough to let your body know that it doesn't need to store water.
10/10

13. Challenge

Challenge a friend, you can always push yourself that little bit further when you are competitive.

14. Spice It Up

Hot and spicy foods can give your metabolism a little kick by increase your body's thermal rate. Just heat it up to speed it up it's one of the easy ways to lose weight fast.

We burn more energy during colder temperatures because the body works hard to warm itself up. Some body builders purposely chill themselves in the air conditioning to burn that little bit of extra fat.
5/10

16. Never Miss Meals

Skipping a meal lowers your energy and helps you make terrible, hunger induced eating choices. One helpful solution is to keep prepared meals in the freezer, then you can just zap 'em in the microwave. Easy>
7/10

17. Recruit Help

Get professional help from a dietitian or a personal trainer if you feel you need the plan or the push. A personal trainer or a life coach can give you the motivation to lose weightthat you need, so it might be a wise investment.
6/10

18. Don't Sit - Stand - Don't Stand - Walk - Don't Walk - Run

Keep active and look for to increase your fitness levels, don't be lazy - Sprint. 8/10

19. Make A Plan

Keep a plan of attack and you are far more likely to succeed. Have a goal, then plan a path and stick to it.
7/10

20. Night Time Lovin'

A little physical intimacy has been shown to burn the calories, so a lot of physical consummation can burn a lot of calories. Be an animal...Grrrr.
11/10

21. Find Healthy Eateries

The time will come when you are going to eat out and can't avoid tempting foods - find healthier choices like Sushi trains or middle eastern food that are better for you than greasy won tons or nachos.
7/10

7/10

24. The Tape Is The King

If the Measuring tape is the king and then scales are the prince's pet hamster. I hope you understand the comparison because the tape tells you where you lost weight and where to gain muscle and gorgeous shape, but the scales can't ever tell you about body composition...only weight and that isn't enough.

Many people get disheartened when they weigh in and find they have only lost 100 grams this week - that's only your net loss. You might have lost 2 pounds of pure fat but gain 2 pounds of fantastic, shapely sexy muscle - only the tape can tell you that. Muscle gain is frequent in those who exercise to lose weight so use the tape as your main guide to progress.
10/10

25. Be Positive

Your negativity can severely hinder your progress, but positivity can help it. In fact positivity creates new ways to lose weight.
7/10

26. Be Assertive

Misery loves company and you'll soon find those people who are eating emotionally will want to bring you down too. Quickly you can find that others have no respect for your commitment to healthy eating and like a little devil on your shoulder they will try to tempt you with forbidden delights. Be assertive, make it clear - You are eating healthy and they need to respect that.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard the phrases: "just one won't hurt you" or "just have a bite"....UGH!
7/10

27. Good/Better/Best

If we want to avoid butter then we would think - Margarine is good, Low fat margarine is better and no margarine at all is best. Can you see how there are varying degrees of good choice? Making the best choices leads to the best results when applying ways to lose weight.
8/10

28. Supplements

When people need to lose weight fast they often turn to supplements.

There are too many awful products to name but there are a few good ones that can assist you in burning weight. Something you should know is that no one product will elicit more than a 1% improvement on your body think about that number 1% and think of better things you could spend your money on like good, healthy food.

Use supplements when you have a good physique and a 1% difference will really mean something.

4/10

29. Meal Replacement

These little formulas give you the option to have a quick nutritious feeding without having to skip a meal. Be very aware of the ingredients, please read the labels.

30. Seek Motivation

Look for the body you want and use that as inspiration to better yourself - Motivation is very important. Once you have motivation to lose weight you may find it a whole lot easier than if you're just going through the motions..that's just drudgery.

100 Way to lose weight - Deep Breath , we are a third of the way so far!

31. Eat Low Density

Low density foods have very few calories but can fill you up. Good low density foods includes celery, mushrooms, onions, green leafy vegetables, cabbage and cauliflower.

Low density foods control your calorie intake to lose weight. Once you learn to use them wisely, you'll find you can adjust your calorie intake to lose weight very easily indeed.

7.5/10

6/10

7/10

34. Get Smarter - Know More Weigh Less

7/10

35. Pamper yourself

As a reward for losing weight get a massage or something nice.
6/10

36. Stretch

Stretching improves circulation and can make you more relaxed and supple. It also assists in recovery.
7/10

37. Protect Your Assets

Muscle is what burns fat, you must absolutely understand this to reach maximum fat burning. Protecting your muscle is insuring success.

Eat adequate protein every day at least 4-6 times in a day around 30-40 grams of protein. If you don't have enough protein then your muscles catabolize and shrink....it's very bad for fat burning when the metabolic furnace shrinks.
9/10

38. Breathe

Oxygen is fat's greatest enemy because it burns the fat away. Breathing exercises can help increase oxygen intake and assist in fat burning.
6/10

39. Don't Stress

Stress releases cortisol a hormone that breaks down precious muscle for energy. That is a big No-No. Relax and keep calm or at least learn some stress relief ideas to practice. Don't stress - You'll live longer. Low stress = Good health.

Don't think you cannot lose weight because you can.

8/10

40. Variety

Don't get bored with your workouts, change them up to keep your mind fresh and your body guessing. Always look for new ways to lose weight sensibly though
7/10

41. Teetotal

Alcohol is bad. Well..duh!...but it really can inhibit your progress. Excess alcohol stops the fat burning process cold, as the body burn the alcohol as it stores the other energy for fat. Alcohol also helps you make poor nutritional choices, so teetotal more often.
8/10

42. Intensity

Intensity of your exercise will match in direct proportion your results, so increase your intensity to get the best possible results from your workouts.
8.5/10

43. Antioxidize

Antioxidants can help counter the free radical damage that occurs to your cells during and after exercise. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the best most plentiful sources of antioxidant goodness and the health benefits are amazing.
7/10

44. Long Term

Your journey is a long term one so be sure to plan that way. Cabbage diets don't work because they are a two day quick fix for a life time problem. Be smarter than that and look at the long term picture.
6/10

45. Rest Your Mind

When your not exercising stop thinking about it and look to something else. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of losing weight but too much of the same subject will eventually cause you to lose concentration.
7/10

46. Sport

Find a sport you enjoy and join up and join in. Sports let us exercise without us even knowing it....well sometimes

Playing a sport you enjoy is one of the easiest ways to lose weight there is.
8/10

47. Never Starve

Starvation leads to hunger and hunger leads to snack attacks. Eat 5-6 small meals a day and you'll never go hungry again.


You cannot lose weight staving yourself - Either hunger wins or you die!

Sorry to be blunt, but it's that simple. Enough said!
8/10

48. Timing

Timing of meals is crucial. Never eat before a workout, never eat before bed, always wait an hour after a workout before you eat to reap the fat burning rewards, eat most of your carbohydrates (75%) before 3pm. Good timing can make a difference in your results.

You cannot lose weight when you consume a massive bowl of pasta right before. Such poor timing dumps unneeded calories on your metabolism at it's slowest point.

7/10

49. Habit

Make it a habit. Once you put in the hard yards, your good work will become a habitual-positive-pattern which will easier to continue with.
7/10

50. Enjoy It - Well Most Of It

The healthy journey can be great fun, you just have to be excited by the benefits. Don't worry about what foods you can't eat just look forward to a reward meal a couple of times a week, with the knowledge your never that far from your favorite food .
7/10

51. Fidget

Wriggle, jitter, fidget and just move. The extra energy expenditure you can use from fidgeting can be significant, so don't sit still for a minute.
5/10

52. Get A Dog

Dogs require exercise, which is great because some one has to walk and run them and that someone is YOU.
6/10

53. Small Plates

When you have smaller plates you eat less and when you have larger plates you eat more, so get smaller plates.
4/10

54. Clever Condiments

Not all condiments are created equally. Mustard is better than mayo, ketchup is better than relish and yogurt is superior to sour cream. Read the labels.
5/10

55. Good Advice

Every other person in the gym is on hand to tell you the best ways to lose weight, but the best people to inform you are the ones who are already in shape - because what they do is already working.
6/10

56. Shyness = Weight Gain

Shy people weigh more - it's true, because shy people socialize less, watch more T.V and eat more junk. Build your social network and get off the couch and find new ways to lose weight and live.

57. Be Your Chef

Prepare your own food, then you'll know whats in it and make it healthier.
