Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do? (lemmy.today)

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?"

Thanks man.

You're overthinking it,

I think so too. I do that a lot.

Yeah it's hard to overcome and I'm not qualified to give proper advice for that, I do that too, and then get stuck in a loop of thinking about the current issue and all of it's components...

And my brain thinks the more I think about it the more information I can gather to face the issue at hand, when in reality I'm just wasting time fueling my anxiety.

So yeah good luck with handling that, I find that focusing on little things and making slow progress without worrying too much about the big picture helps a little !
