many exercises for increasing the bust we don't do a lot of repetitions except we  do 20 with the ones we do just pushing like this but with the books we do only 10 but we do a lot  of repetitions on the part that we want to reduce so if you want to reduce your hips we'll do a lot  of hip exercises and every other day we'll do bust exercise now this bust exercise can be done uh  every day and 20 times each day but that's all now put your fingers together and put your arms  out to the side and just push as hard as you can you should be able to see it feel it in the bus  and after the show's

relax and push and relax and push and relax now this one also can be done 20 times  but only once a day now you do all the exercises exactly the way I'll tell you or you can get bad  results want you to put your hand over your head and then back down over the head and back down  take a breath in and then blow it out I've seen a lot of girls overdevelop and I've seen that girls  EX excise for months and months and never get results only because I didn't know how to exercise  as a matter of fact I was one of those years ago I'd work so hard and I couldn't get anywhere and  it was only because I didn't know really what I was doing okay now this one again you can do it  every day and 20 times now here's another one for the bus you can do every day now put your hands  around your wrist like this the right hand around the left wrist and push and relax and push relax  and push and relax and push and relax and push and relax now I'm going to give you another bust  exercise but before we do we're going to do this one for the thighs put your feet apart go over to  the right side as far as you can then over to the left and one two and three and four and five and  six and seven and eight and nine and 10 now let's get a couple books one for each hand or whatever  you're using for the bust exercise and you'll need a couple pillows and get down the floor now  remember this one
