I go from being about 23 inches around my waist to 34.5 inches around my breasts, without a bra. I am a size 32D or 30DD depending on the bra itself. So not too huge, but big enough that my small frame feels them. I feel great when I'm wearing a good bra or sports bra; I own a few very good bras which I replace regularly and take great care of, and I'm glad for what they do for me, but I want sometimes to go without a bra around my house and such. The problem is, whenever I do this for a long amount of time, I get back pain. I am wondering what exercises I can do to strengthen my shoulders and upper/lower back so I can stand up straighter and go braless without feeling uncomfortable.
Does anyone out there have exercises that they've had good luck with that can help me before I end up with back problems for life? I'm only 20; I'm very active and I eat very well, so I'm certainly not overweight; it's just the way my body is. I'm 5'6'' and 105 lbs, so I'd really rather not lose any body fat if I can help it, so I'm looking for strengthening rather than weight loss.
