Women often avoid chest training.
They mistakenly believe that direct chest exercises will reduce the size of their breasts. This reasoning, however, is misguided. Just like abdominal exercises won't make your stomach any flatter, training the chest will have no direct influence on diminishing breast tissue. Now it's true that exercise in general will decrease the amount fat throughout the body. But, if anything, cardiovascular exercise will have more of a direct effect on reducing breast size than bench presses or chest flyes.
