Pretty much what it says on the tin there. I’m looking for a new workout routine to get a more feminin body shape. I know that stuff exists, but at this point in time instead of googling it, I rather ask my tribe.

Some pointers:

  • Prefferably something I can do indoors without a lot of gear involved
  • I’m not a total newcommer to home workouts, but at this point I’ve gotten a bit out if shape

Thanks for your input in advance! <3

    So, biggest question is if you’re on hormones. If you’re at female hormone levels: full body workout, though if you’re new to those levels you’re going to want to focus less on the upper body than lower body and cardio. Female hormone levels will mean that muscle you build is feminine and as your body cycles through fat and muscle (it’s always doing that) it will build them in feminine ways. If you aren’t on hormones yet, just skip the upper body entirely and put extra effort into hips and butt exercises like squats and cycling. Also cardio, you’re always going to want more cardio.

    Targeted fat burning is a myth. If you have female hormone levels it is incredibly difficult to build so much muscle that it looks masculine without steroids.

    I’m a huge fan of bicycling because I find it fun and it ensures my ass and thighs (and calves) are amazing, and is also a means of transportation. It also provides a good core workout. Push ups will improve pecs, arms, and back, and pull ups will compliment those gains. Squats are also great for the butt and thighs. That all should work fine unless you want to invest in weights, at which point deadlifting would also be a good choice.

    In general fitness looks good on everyone
