I know this is a weird question. But I'm just wondering. Please don't kill me.

I do body weight exercises. And finding it harder to do exercises that want me to lay down on my front side. ^Because,^ ^my^ ^____^ ^is^ ^squishing^.^๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ^

Also, there is a stupid stigma that exercise makes women more masculine. But are there any workouts that make a man look feminine? Like, it would be bit weird to see a BLL sized butt on a man, right?


This question came to my mind when I saw a workout plan in my app. The plans' name is "Bikini Body". I was like, "I should probably stay away from this. But what happens if I did it anyway?"

The sad truth is that our archaic culture of Masculine and Feminine implies that strength and body definition themselves are masculine; that softness and daintyness are feminine.

So while you could potentially maximize gains on your thighs and glutes plus a thin waist to create a "world class bakery" style physique, you generally won't ever look more feminine for a balanced workout.
