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^.^😮‍💨^

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?"

any cis man that went through male puberty isn’t ever going to have the kind of body that would be considered feminine

Not necessarily true. I’m a cis male and I’ve always had a slender waist. If I really dedicated my workout to legs and glutes and just abominable with none of the side stomach muscles (I’m pretty new to working out and don’t know the words) and I completely disregarded my upper body, my body would start to look more feminine. My body stores fat on my hips too, so no cardio? Yeah, I’d have one sexy lady bod.
