The stigma with excersises make women more masculin is because of the mentality that muscles are for men. Excersises will change your body and they will give you a new image but depends on you how you want to view it and choose people around you that view it the same way.

You may have never realized, but big ol bubble butt on a dude is considered very attractive lmao especially if it’s muscle.

There’s exercises that might make you leaner instead of bulkier but I don’t think there’s anything that can strictly feminize, I think this is the eternal struggle of self-styled femboys.

Nah, there’s no such thing as an exercise that does what you’re asking.

Ignoring the bullshit involved in gender norms, and ignoring the variances in different cultures, a cis man that went through male puberty isn’t ever going to have the kind of body that would be considered feminine, on average, by exercise. Too much of what is considered feminine depends on boobs and hips. Boobs can’t be exercised into existence, and you aren’t going to change your skeleton enough to have the kind of hips that truly feminize a silhouette.

A cis man can definitely achieve androgynous looks, and can also shape their body to emphasize curves and such, but not by exercise.

Also, if your dick/balls are squishing, try different undies. You need better support, imo. My best friend is what you might call compact in frame, and is hung like a damn bull moose, but can do any exercise he wants because he has good support via well fitting undies. There’s no single recommendation as per brand or style, but he’s a briefs guy. I’ve worn boxer briefs for decades, and never had any issues when they were in good condition (though once they get a year or so of use, they loosen too much for comfort because the old frank n beans slide down the leg)

If you want to avoid squishing your junk, I recommend buying some elasticated boxers that are just a LITTLE bit tighter than you would buy for every day wear. Keep your business pulled in close and tight.

As for avoiding workouts… theres a lot to unpack there. The short version is “You have the DNA you have” no amount of a “Bikini body” workout is going to give you tits or a BBL booty and any workout that mentions “Targeted fat loss” is bullshit. Situps do not burn belly fat. Workouts for bodybuilding and workouts for functional strength are different. Workouts for cardio and workouts for conditioning are different.

But what might build a bunch of muscle and functional strength for a 60kg woman might only qualify as a warmup for me, programs written for women will likely be different because (THIS IS NOT SEXISM) men on average carry more muscle as a percentage and less fat. Workouts programmed for women tend to have more cardio and lower weight. Not to say that you couldnt do that workout and hit it with intensity and get results, but its likely to be suboptimal.

If you’re interested in learning more about exercise science Dr Mike Isratel of Renaissance Periodization on YT has some fantastic and easy to digest videos (not exactly geared for beginners but theres some very quality insights if you find the right videos.) As well as James Smith, Dr Pak, Jeff Nippard and their associated friends.

If you’re doing leg days so much that you’re concerned about having an ass that is really just too big then honestly good for you

As a big ball haver yeah you gotta watch out doing pretty much everything I’m assuming you are wearing something to keep them from going all over the damn place

Yeah, listen, I was doing my own exercises and I was everyday watching my wife doing her exercises, and then I realised “holly hell she is exercising way harder than I am”, and working muscle groups that I really wanted to work so I gave up my routine and joined hers.

I’d avoid these types of exercises.

If your equipment is being squished, your surface may not have enough give.

Any fitness physique you see on Instagram (male or female) took a ton of effort to achieve (and possibly some pharmaceutical or surgical assistance). You can pick any routine in the world and you are not at risk of looking like that unless you are really dedicated to it.

Jelqing, for example

The plans’ name is “Bikini Body”. I was like, “I should probably stay away from this. But what if I did it anyway?”

I think exercise selection is a pretty personal thing. There are going to be exercises you like that feel good and some that you don’t really get into. I’d say mix it up until you find a routine with exercises you enjoy or at least don’t mind that still hit the muscle groups that you want.

I don’t really know how to answer the rest of it. If you find exercises you enjoy and they are helping you towards whatever your goals are I’d say who cares what people think but that’s just me.

I would say the most beneficial thing you could do for yourself instead of investing energy in to avoiding “feminine” workouts, is to work on unlearning the toxic masculinity that has created these false, sexist, and bioessentialist ideas in your mind in the first place.

Once you’ve done that you’ll be free to consider what exercises actually works best for you, rather than what exercises to avoid because you don’t want to be considered “inferior” (by yourself and others who harbour toxic masculinity).

Yes, odd question. I’m a lady, and honestly could deadlift and squat and curl all day and never would my body end up looking like a guy’s - like my husband and I could literally do the same exercises and end up looking so different.

I see guys in yoga class all the time and they look lean and fit, not bulky, that’s still a strong and manly look. As my biologist daughter says “testosterone is a hell of a drug.”

I don’t think you can err here, just don’t skip legs and butt.

Never had that problem, maybe because I have the thigh-gap body type.
